Paintings
Since I paint nearly every day, I have produced, over the years, several hundred paintings. Therefore, on this page, I am featuring some of my creations and, with time, I will be adding many more. I hope you enjoy perusing my paintings.
My Paintings
” Dear Mona, I have been following you closely for a long time. I am very familiar with your early works. You have come a long way in a short time. When I examine the colours and the figures more closely, there is an incredible difference between your early works and your recent ones. In fact, I am often amazed and astonished. The reason for this is that making such rapid progress in painting is not easy at all. It is possible to produce works of art of artistic merit by going through very slow and difficult stages. What I have described is the visible part of you. The extraordinary enthusiasm in your inner world, the storms in your soul, have reached such a state that they flow from your fingertips and are transferred to your canvases. Sometimes you can’t even control this enthusiasm and these storms…How fortunate you are.”

Collection: Blue River/ Family/ Sunset Island/ Silhouette.
I work with acrylic on professional canvases. Across this collection I set saturated oranges against deep blues to create a direct contrast –warm skies versus cool water–that becomes the stage for recurring motifs: bare trees , exposed roots, and flattened, pebble-like shapes that read as water or islands . My paintings present trees as figures of memory and persistence. By removing foliage and bringing roots into view I draw a line between what’s visible and what’s held beneath the surface. The simplified water shapes and repeating forms reduce landscape to pattern and rhythm so that colour and line carry the mood . I’m interested in the tension between quiet and motion: still scenes that nonetheless express movement through shifting colour and planes and branching lines.
