About The Artwork

"I Wore Flowers" is a bright mixed media painting by contemporary artist, Monica Shulman. Punctuating her rhythmic, gestural marks and paint drips with varying shades of pinks, greens, reds and blues, Monica creates a vivid painting that almost feels like a scene from a dream, that will add dimension and a pop of color to any space. Using acrylic and oil paint, as well as oil pastel, this mixed media painting marries Monica's textured, sculptural abstract aesthetic with her love of portraiture. Monica often includes bright, colorful florals in her paintings and she created this abstract portrait of a figure surrounded by red poppy flowers. As an artist, Monica studies the concept of excavation and discovery and she explore consistent themes of change and evolution using various mediums including oil paint, acrylic paint, oil stick, ink, house paint, gesso and pastels. She uses heavy sculptural layering to explore the dynamic tension between the unintentional stroke and the meticulously planned one. Together, these gestures create connection and movement, and her intuitive mark-making reflect her spirit and the humanness of her experiences.

Monica Shulman is a New York-based artist whose brand of gestural abstraction is a form of story-telling. Rooted in the traditions of abstract expressionism, Monica’s world is best described as colorful and rhythmic and her paintings reflect an evolving universe where communication is less concrete. Creating sculptural surfaces through her heavily layered impasto technique, Monica’s paintings exhibit a compulsive energy and the dynamic tension between reckless abandon and careful restraint. She engages the medium itself, specifically oil paint and oil pastel, as a participant in both her abstract and figurative works. Emerging from the fluidity of her visual language and diverse mark-making, her process-oriented work explores themes of the human condition, identity, and self-reflection. A first generation American of Cuban and Argentinian descent, who left her career as an attorney to focus on her art practice full-time, Monica lives and works in the lower Hudson Valley with her husband and their children. Monica has been featured in various publications including The Washington Post, Popular Photography, Create Magazine, Art Seen and Westchester Magazine. In 2019, the Director of PULSE Art Fair in Miami invited Monica to participate in the “Next Generation” exhibit to celebrate the fair’s 15th anniversary. She was inducted into the National Association of Women Artists in 2022. Her work has been shown at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, the National Association of Women Artists, Frieze Los Angeles, Art Market Hamptons, PULSE Art Fair, The National Arts Club, and the New York Mercantile Exchange, among others.
