Studies in Fine Arts and Art Therapy (Prof. Dr. Gertraud Schottenloher)ABOUT THE ARTIST"Through painting, Monika Schultes creates an image of her own existence. Body on body, with the potential correlations and the curious bonds and delineations, both visible and invisible, between and from one another, the power of emotion; all this is swirling round her painting, without ever reaching a specific conclusion. Her images are stirring, exploring, with tagible effort, possible connections and predicaments, posing further questions rather than providing solutions. The objective is not to express a specific message, but conditions under which these messages migth be articulated." (Prof. Lothar Romain)
