About The Artwork

My creative process begins with a deep dive into the world of discarded paper. I search flea markets, charities shops and recycling centres for old books, magazines, newspapers, and other paper products that have been deemed no longer useful. I then cut these materials into new shapes and sizes, reimagining their original purpose and giving them new life as part of my collages. Vintage paper is a central element in my work, and I am continually inspired by its rich history and patina. The textures and colours of these materials, which have been aged with time and use, provide a unique and compelling backdrop for my collages. By layering these papers, I aim to create new narratives that speak to the interconnectedness of our lives and experiences. As an artist, I am also deeply committed to environmental sustainability. By using only discarded materials in my work, I hope to raise awareness about the impact of our consumer culture on the planet. I believe that art has the power to inspire change and that by creating beautiful and meaningful works from discarded paper, I can contribute to a more sustainable and mindful world. Ultimately, my goal as a collage artist is to create works that are both visually stunning and emotionally evocative. I hope that my collages will invite viewers to look more closely at the world around them, to see beauty in unexpected places, and to consider the value of reusing and repurposing in our everyday lives.

Born in Poland, Monika Gardyla is a self-taught artist currently living and working between North London and beautiful, sunny Itacare in Bahia - Brasil where she is building her dream house and art studio. Monika explores many cultures and faiths and also her connection to the natural world to create her pieces. Geometric figures, leaves, fungi and flowers are often presented in her compositions. To create her work, She uses a combination of artistic mediums from acrylic and oil paint, spray, oil stick, pen on paper, canvas, wood, metal to wax, resin, ceramics and concrete. With her current work, she couples intricacy with a powerful use of colours to create dynamic and geometric Collages. She is exploring endless possibilities working with vintage and recycled papers she is gathering for years now. “Collage is this remarkable, creative outlet you can dive in and explore and experiment with colours, textures, composition, and various themes and end up with an amazing and often unexpected creation’’. Her work has a distinctive graphic edge, reflecting her love of geometry, shapes and patterns. Adding some forms and colours on top of one another creates a beautiful layering effect and gives a sense of depth and character to a normally flat surface. The year 2022 was incredibly abundant for Monika. She was showing her art at Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, selected to exhibit in “Generous Space” at Hastings Contemporary and invited to display at “The Other Art Fair” in London in October.
