ABSTRACT SURREALISM

I'm taking my inspiration from employment with elemantary situations of human existance, like birth, death, become, turn, grow, pass, love,being and going by. In my panitings are phantasies, imaginations, ideas, experiences and wishes - not only reproduce real, but also expressing the feelings . Thereby there is a lot of margin for personal connotation and interpretation. By painting theres a dialogue, an interplay from spontaneity and control, from freedom and discipline. Every work is talking about a story, a dream or an inner feeling.....

F. Hauptvogel, lecturer Academy of Arts, Dresden, Germany about Mona Schwenkers Artworks:

Tracing curiously and sinking into imagination

Circles, ellipses and loops leave their jumbled traces in condensing water on a window pane.

A message, a secret formula. Paths on a map or a game board done by childrens hands

In Mona Schwenkers Paintings you will find it all: the traces, the fragile ornament, then again a hieroglyph. Fine traces, the marking in metal, but everything is in its place.
