In Spanish, the word “mono” carries a double meaning: it refers both to a monkey and to the craving that people experience after quitting smoking—the restless urge to light up again. This painting fuses those two ideas in a contemporary way. Instead of depicting a traditional cigarette pack, I chose to include Terea tobacco, giving the work a modern touch. The object in the hand is intentionally left as a tentative element, inviting the future owner to personalize the piece by requesting a different object if they wish before receiving it.
