Detailed description
Picture "Love H. Matisse" (2020)
Inspired by Henri Matisse's picture Handkerchief from 1935, I painted the white background on the primed canvas with ultramarine blue and traced Matisse's beautiful lines with ink and brush. The stitch is unique because it is drawn quickly and stays put. I also let the ink run freely downwards. This picture is generously signed on the front right.
About Monika Gollasch
I have been a passionate artist and graphic designer for over 30 years.
It all started with an invitation to an art camp in the 8th grade, where we spent the whole day painting, which was like a dream for me. That's how my passion for art and painting began. By studying fashion illustration at the new art school in Zurich and taking nude drawing courses at the Munich Art Academy, I learned to draw a quick, loose line and to focus on the essentials. My media design training paved my way as a graphic designer. I combine both sides in my painting. My aim is not to depict nature realistically, but to reinterpret it and reflect my feelings in it. I look at the colors in a completely new way and use them in an instinctive manner. With the resulting intense play of colors, my paintings radiate joy and lightness.
I work in my studio on the rural outskirts of Munich, surrounded by meadows and fields. My paintings can often be seen at exhibitions in southern Germany.
