About The Artwork

During her two-month stay in Leipzig, Monogiou created an expressive series of portraiture. Inspired by trips to the Dresden Zwinger and influenced by personal experiences with Greek icon painting, the artist creates figures that take up and at the same time break with historical ideals of beauty. A woman in a baroque dress with a bouquet of flowers, a colorful Madonna representation, a fine gentleman in a suit - but their faces are disfigured. Beaded noses, oversized heads and distorted mouths let the recipient trim and come closer. The vehement search for something familiar, a well-known emotion or an identifiable facial expression remains unsuccessful. The rigid, grotesque faces are as hard to read as the people of today's society.
