“Sea Meets Sky,” was inspired by a recent trip to Iceland’s glacier lagoons where I was blown away at how much glaciers had reseeded and melted in the last decades. By showcasing their beauty and fragility it will bring awareness on this issue. I only depicted the water to convey the message that glaciers around the world are rapidly disappearing. The distinct sharp horizon line, intuitively depicts the transition between sky and water, but it also depicts a “line of raising waters” due to melting glaciers.
Monica's distinctive style of luminous textural painting is created by applying thick layers of paint and natural pigments resulting in a 3-D effect complemented by using multiple glazes of colour to produce contrast and harmony, creating lightness, fluidity, and ephemeral atmospheric effects. Ethereal and luminous landscapes, evoke a sense of mood and ever-present calm, leaving a space for herself and the viewer to wonder, imagine and dream.
Monica is represented by Ukama Gallery and Tofino Gallery of Contemporary Art on Vancouver Island. She has received international awards, featured in several interviews, and exhibited at numerous galleries in BC and the US. Her paintings can be found in private and public collections in Canada, USA and worldwide.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am a mixed-media artist based in Vancouver. My art is rooted in my life on the west coast of British Columbia, and my travelling experiences. Drawing on my background in environmental science, I create evocative and purposely imperfect paintings inspired by nature’s patinas, seascapes, and the colours of dusk.
I use mixed media for its capacity to reach beyond the visual, to be more tactile and tangible. I curate combinations of materials and techniques to abstract reality, telling a story to elicit an intimate aesthetic and emotional response. To experience this, the viewer must enter the multiple layers and textures of my work, and be seduced into a visual and visceral encounter – a holistic meeting of minds between artist and viewer, inspiring mindfulness.
