I am a Canadian fine artist capturing the Canadian four seasons in realistic oil paintings, on canvas. Because Art has been my life passion since childhood, today, I am able to exhibit my artwork nationally and internationally and have received numerous awards. My online art gallery provides original paintings, high quality reproductions and greeting cards. Commission work is also accepted should you wish to have your or your Family's portraits done in oil paintings. Please check few examples here: https://www.mona-gallery.com/g5.php

I had pursued my art education and obtained a B.F.A. and later on had taken several courses, art related, with honor awards. However, art is a life-time experience. I had studied Interior and exterior design, sculptures, figure drawings, perspectives. Also, obtained a Diploma in Commercial Arts, George Brown College where I studied Commercial arts, drawings, illustration and earned a Honorary degree and Certificate in Desktop Publishing, First Printing School where I studied Adobe Photoshop, adobe illustration and earned a Honorary degree. My experience is in oil paintings, graphic design, commercial arts, digital media, business management, budget management, priority setting.
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.

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 lead me to pursue the realism style.

I am interested in widening out my horizon to exhibit in many different countries. And my future project will take a superior scale where I can produce greater quantities of reproductions, to make them at affordable prices to the majority.

I have been a self-employed and the owner of my business for many years. I manage all the tasks of my business, painting, looking after the reproductions, updating my website, arranging for exhibitions, teaching private art lessons and still have time for my personal life. However, I would be interested in having art distributor so that I can dedicate more time for my paintings.

I would gladly, offer you my assistance within my art experience for I believe that Art 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.

I wish you all success and look forward to communicating with you effectively.

Yours sincerely,

Mona Youssef
