I am a Canadian fine artist capturing the Canadian four seasons in realistic oil paintings, on canvas and Art has been my life passion since childhood. Today, I am able to exhibit my artwork nationally and internationally and have received numerous awards here and there.

Although, I had pursued my goal and obtained a University degree B.F.A. in Fine Arts and later on had taken several courses, in Colleges, with honor awards, related to art, yet art, to me, is a life experience. You are invited to read my article posted on my website with the title” Born Talented or taught to be an Artist" at this link: https://www.mona-gallery.com/news&articles/article12.php.

Art has taught me that there is always light somewhere, even when things may seem dark. In my paintings, I focus on the importance of light along with the shadow that complements its beautiful counterpart. By using different subtle tones and applying many fine layers to create depth and soft contrast, I emphasize perspective and composition. The oil colors, I use, are from original pigments I mix them myself on pure high quality linen that being treated carefully, six month in advance and at least one year after the work is done.

Through painting, I've learned that what we see, for the first time, is not always or exactly what we initially perceive to be there. Having a second and a third look at subjects or matters can reveal more depth, value and beauty. This study is what leads me to pursue the realism style. In addition, I have been able to realize the potential for growth and development in my work and this is what will inspire me to go on reaching new levels of depth, beauty and diversity in my paintings.

Art, in my opinion, is a manifestation of love. We love the nature around us, the people we share our world with. When we truly love what we do, we do it whole-souled and become professionals at it. Yes, Art is a powerful tool and silent International language that can convey messages to the world reflecting culture, history and civilization. This language can speak up, announce, make known, unify, bring together, support, up build, encourage, share, care for, show compassion and kind feelings toward all. In two words; Art is to LOVE.

My goal is to exhibit my paintings internationally, which I already, have. Yet, I am interested in more exposures and in widening out my horizon to exhibit in many different countries. I have been providing high quality reproductions of some of these paintings. Yet, my future project will take a superior scale where I can produce greater quantities of reproductions, post cards and posters.

My objective is to succeed widely in my business and also to open the chance for many people, who expressed previously, that truly enjoy my artwork, can obtain it at affordable prices. I have been a self-employed as a fine artist and the owner of my business, full-time for some years. I manage all the tasks of my business, painting, looking after the reproduction, updating my website, arranging for exhibitions, teaching art lessons privately(one to one) and still find time for my family, friends and enjoy cooking gourmet food. How many hours I work a day! I hardly sleep yet, I am very active, content and happy person who is willing to share and give my experiences. I admit that running all that alone, is not an easy task, therefore, would prefer to find a representative, partner or distributor. Then, I would be able to dedicate more time for my painting which is my main passion and career. Should I find that person, I would welcome him greatly.

I would like to invite you all to visit my website at: www.mona-gallery.com and hope that you will enjoy viewing the artwork. Of course your comments are welcome.

Thank you,

Mona
