Set against a black background and punctuating her rhythmic, gestural marks and impasto technique with varying shades of greens, reds and blues, Monica creates a vivid painting that will add dimension and a pop of color to any space. Using oil paint, as well as oil pastel, this painting marries Monica's textured, sculptural abstract aesthetic with her love of portraiture. Monica often includes bright, colorful florals in her paintings and she created this abstract portrait of a figure surrounded by red poppy flowers.

As an artist, Monica studies the concept of excavation and discovery and she explore consistent themes of change and evolution using various mediums including oil paint, acrylic paint, oil stick, ink, house paint, gesso and pastels. She uses heavy sculptural layering to explore the dynamic tension between the unintentional stroke and the meticulously planned one. Together, these gestures create connection and movement, and her intuitive mark-making reflect her spirit and the humanness of her experiences. See less
