„I was lucky enough to meet Monika in Andalusia (Spain), and be the beneficiary of one of her first Soul Portraits. Receiving this was very touching for me, and looking at it evokes a lot of feelings and emotions; at the same
time it is both abstract, yet familiar. Just as much, I loved the accompanying video, which documented the actual process of creation, and allowed me to see the finished product through an additional lens, giving it
even more depth. To accompany the painting and the video, Monika also shared with me some intimate words and phrases that came to her during the process of creation, which added a further layer of complexity and magic
to the Soulportrait. This had the very interesting, effect and powerful of almost holding a mirror up to myself, being confronted with myself, for some moments of deep personal reflection and truthful examination. Most
importantly, I know that Monika’s work very much comes from a place of authenticity, care and love …. I can’t wait to return to Australia to put it in a frame and on display. Thanks Monika. x“
