“My art is material evidence of my search for meaning.”
Monika Morgenstern creates work around the visual representation of the numinous, with a specific focus on colour, perception, and phenomenology. Intrigued by the notion of the ineffable, she delves deeply into the realm of undefinable complex emotions, striving to forge a psychological and visceral connection with the audience. Monika believes we stand on the brink of significant social and political transformation, prompting a need for the contemporary reinvention of the mystical.
Morgenstern’s work takes shape in material experiments, and color-based meditations and she is known for her exploration of colour as a mystical material.
As an artist Monika hopes to create immersive opportunities of seeing; visual encounters in which viewers lose themselves and slow down the process of perception. Her practice, rooted in abstract/minimalist aesthetics aims to provoke, visually, the search for meaning through contemporary art.
