Monika Matsumoto

Monika Matsumoto is a contemporary artist whose work bridges the boundaries between memory, materiality, and sustainability. With background in conservation of architectural monuments and a deep fascination with nature, space, and regeneration, she creates mixed media sculptures, textile installations, and experimental works that explore the hidden connection between the organic and the technological worlds.

Working with recycled materials, and found objects, Monika transforms fragments of the past into new forms, offering a poetic reflection on cycles of life. Her recent series weave together space - age aesthetics with personal narratives to question what we remember, what we discard, and how we evolve.

Her art is strongly influenced by themes of sustainability, the passage of time, and the emotional landscape attached to materials. Through abstraction and symbolism, she invite viewers to contemplate impermanence, resilience, and the beauty found in transformation.

Recognized by Saatchi Art curators and featured on international platforms, Monika continues to push her practice toward new horizons, blending craftsmanship with conceptual inquiry.
