Eruption Painting

I put spontaneous thoughts and inner impulses in mine abstract works of art with powerful gestures, distinctive strokes, and a passion for the material, color, and pen. Sources of inspiration for my series are elements of nature and its change, music, and the love of playing with color. My works of art want to inspire you, arouse emotions in you, and convey special moods. "Monika Herschberger's approach is a reproduction of sensory impressions of one or more colors in relation to one another, which she transfers in various forms and brushstrokes to one another on the image carrier. Often individual layers are washed off again with a brush and water or even with the shower head. The resulting paint residues are partially painted over again or remain visible on the canvas as a sign of variability. Individual graphic elements are accentuated with pens in order to contrast the delicacy of the lines with the colored areas." Gabriele Baumgartner, curator
