About Art by MyM

Born and raised in Switzerland, Juan Monteymarte is the principal Artist at Art by MyM. He has called British Columbia, Canada home for 3 decades. Originally trained as a molecular biologist he has swapped his latex lab gloves with welder mittens to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot and inspiration, Jean Tinguely. 

He likes to weave his passion for the outdoors and the environment in his art. For starters, most of the starting materials used in his sculptures, finished serving their original purpose. Juan is giving them a new lease on life and converting them into treasures. As an avid cyclist, on and off the road, he loves to incorporate previously used bike parts in his art. It's not only used  bicycle parts he enjoys reincarnating, it is previously used objects in general, that often make it into his art work.

It is the outdoors of beautiful British Columbia that nurtures his inspiration and creativity.
