Mona Lerch

Mona Lerch is a self-taught contemporary visual artist currently residing in Brno, Czech Republic.

After having graduated from London Metropolitan University, she returned to the Czech Republic to pursue her career as an internal security specialist.

Originally a dance choreographer, painting was not an obvious artistic path for her; however, she has been drawing inspiration from movement, emotions and senses just as she used to do when creating choreographies.

Mona concentrates on abstract oil painting, watercolor illustration and she has also started experimenting with collages. She uses both life and work experiences to give shape to unique pieces of artwork that are characterized by elaborate structure and layers. In her paintings, she loves to combine natural elements with geometry. Her paintings are intuitive and offer space for the viewer's imagination.

Being a nature lover and a passionate advocate of ecological lifestyle, she digs deep into her fantasy to materialize her own inner world on canvas. Her mission is to create a narrative embodying the beauty we have around us that we forget to see and to break the boundaries between the body and mind.

Mona is a member of the Art Queens Society and proud artist ...
