Monika's main subject is transformability: a disquieting, yet latent aspect of things. Mysterious situations, unexpected affinities, events that you can not explain entirely. Monika works within the boundaries of realism, yet she does not aim to potray reality as it is. If she uses images of things which seem familiar to us, it is only to shift the borderlines of reality, gently and subtly, as sometimes happens in dreams. Her somnambulent paintings unveil three states of the sleeping mind: sleepwalking, dreaming, the web of free associations.
