Monika Camillucci
My work is informed primarily by my strong relationship with nature. Whether working from direct observation or abstracting from memory and imagination, my interest is not in realistic rendering, but in conveying some quintessential quality or truth about my subject.
Using wood, metal, stone, paint, ink and found objects, I look for that special element, that will best support the image, the idea, the certain kind of feeling motivating me.
It is my hope, that viewers may connect and engage their own imagination and sensibility and in that way arrive at their own interpretation and appreciation.
