Margaret Moneta

I treat art as a form of communication, so I choose the medium according to what content I want to convey, what to share, what to talk about.
My painting and drawing results from admiration, astonishment in broadly understood nature and I would like it to be accepted in a simple but not unreflective way.
In my artistic activities I use various media: site specific installations, sometimes with elements of performance, sound, photography, paper art, sculpture, painting, drawing. I paint and draw mainly for pleasure, myself and others.

I studied and graduated at the Academy of Fine Art and Design (Strzeminski Academy of Art Lodz), MA.
Next I spent a year in Japan, where I had a great opportunity to learn art of Washi, woodcut, at the Isao Nakamura Washi studio on Shikoku and where I had a great opportunity to get to know Japanese culture and art at the best place for this purpose.
Before graduated at the University of Lodz, physics, MSC.
