■ Sculpture

Following a chance encounter with clay

She soon devoted herself to figurative sculpture with passion, with the physical and emotional dedication to her craft typical of ancient artists.

In 2012 she started to develop her first works in clay, inspired by the masters: Igor Mitoraj, Kris Kuksi and Aron Demetz.

■ Painting

The study that Monika pursues in painting is completely different altogether

Lights and colours mix on the canvas, defined and controlled, and a satisfying feeling of inner peace emerges; aesthetic unease gives way to harmony.

Defined by the details and in the meticulous search for beauty, her canvases are created as a backdrop for the clay heads to be presented to the public in exhibitions and galleries.

■ Visual Concept

Celtic and Egyptian cultures, nature, myths, fables and legends.

Magnetically attracted to mysticism, she transforms the symbology of the ancient world as the key to interpreting her canvases. In a perpetual motion with the almost esoteric features of leaving and then returning to herself.
