Candy Floss Painting

Monica Alikoviene is a Cambridge-based artist who finds inspiration in emotions, nostalgic memories, and the often-overlooked moments of everyday life. Painting is her way of preserving these fleeting experiences, holding onto the feelings and stories that might otherwise fade. Working in oils, Monica uses an indirect painting method, carefully building up transparent layers to create an illusion of depth and luminosity. An active member of the Cambridge Drawing Society, Monica regularly exhibits in their biannual shows. In 2024, her work won the Public Favourite Vote at their Spring Exhibition. That same year, she was a finalist at the Art Unlimited International Competition and exhibited at The Malthouse Gallery. Her paintings are now held in private collections across Europe and the United States. Currently, her work is featured in the Range Exhibition in Cambridge, where she continues to explore themes of light, memory, and emotion. Monica enjoys sharing her artistic journey through exhibitions, live demonstrations, and one-on-one interactions with collectors, where she discusses her inspirations and fosters deeper connections with her audience.
