Monika Bektas

I explore the raw, electric beauty of everyday life —
the kind that transcends logic and speaks intimately to the soul.

My oil paintings are rooted in emotion, born of quiet reflection and charged with universal energy.
They invite stillness, depth, and sensory presence.

While I continue to create expressive canvases, I also venture into the space where painting meets sculpture.
In this series, oil collides with copper — sharp, textured, and physical — where painting transforms into presence.

Since 2007, I have been a self-taught painter, driven by a restless spirit—constantly evolving my style through experimentation and a deepening pursuit of abstraction.
