Artist Statement:
My art work is a
result of a strong impact of
the North Western American

somewhere out of the temporal
dimension. All of these left
indelible impressions in my
soul.
For me the process of painting
is of utmost significance. My
work is abstract in nature and
contains close ups of
traditional patterns used in
folk art. Through repetition
of these elements I create
textural, abstract effects
that convey the rhythmic play
of colour energies. Vibrant
colours signify the vitality
of the traditional rituals and
ultimately portray the vivid,
passionate pulse of life. I
use folk patterns in my art
because they represent
concepts like infinity,
harmony and simplicity, thus
revealing a balanced yet

Artist Reviews:
Monica Deac creates richly
textured paintings of
abstracted landscapes with a
mystical understanding and
strong love of nature. In
painting her canvases, the
artist employs a unique
approach, applying the oil
paint not only with a brush,
but with a palette knife and
with her fingers. Inspired by
