Monika Bektas

I explore human presence, abstraction, and transformation through oil, colour, gesture, and material.

Expressionist faces, abstract shapes, colour fields, and structured compositions emerge through varied approaches to the painted surface. Each work develops its own visual language, ranging from expressive and spontaneous to more deliberate and structured.

In selected works, solid copper becomes part of the painting itself, adding texture, reflection, and a changing relationship with light. Its physical presence creates a subtle dialogue between paint, light, and space.

Self-taught painter, active since 2007
