Monica Mardare

Monica Mardare is a UK Artist living in South London. She graduated from the London College of Contemporary Arts, Fashion and Textiles, where she specialised in Prints and Graphics.

Her passion for design, art and fashion resides in her childhood. From the age of six she loved painting, creating garments and accessories.

At high school she created jewellery and clothing and sold them to her classmates and art shops.

Whilst running her own business in advertising, she had the opportunity to work exclusively as a dealer of Tyvek DuPont in Romania. She has promoted this fabric in the Romanian textile market for seven years and she designed clothes, accessories, swimwear, and sportswear in that fabric, and she has presented designs at national fairs such as Best Romanian Fashion Brands in 2006 and in Spain at the DuPont World Dealers in Barcelona, in 2007.
Later, she worked closely with DuPont Luxembourg as a Designer for Tyvek DuPont creating new garments for different promo events. Her designs have been copied and produced worldwide by fashion retailers and sold successfully in Europe.


For her, a life without art is as a bird without wings. Creating art has lots of meanings for her. She paints to express her emotions...

Graduated from the London College of Contemporary Arts with an HND in fashion and textiles with a specialization in Prints and Graphics, she continues to push her boundaries in the fields of education, achieving other knowledge, skills and qualifications in digital graphic design and photography. She has been researching art through photography and stills considers herself as a student in this field. She has participated in photographic projects in the Croydon Council for street art expression.

Her most recent works have been presented in the Amina Malik Gallery (London, 2020), the Photography Exhibition from Handsford & Sons (London, 2020), ArtPlug (Nebraska, USA, 2020), Marcel and Emerging Artist Platform (since 2019), and Fashion Show "Four seasons" (London, 2015), Cryer Art Centre(2020)
