Monika Chandna

Monika Chandna is a talented artist from Mumbai, India, with seven years of experience working with oil, acrylic, mixed media, and other materials. Her art is a vibrant blend of color and texture, transcending cultural boundaries through layered narratives that evoke a universal sense of beauty. Monika’s style is intuitive and experimental, often mixing mediums to push the limits of creativity. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s quote, “Art is never finished, only abandoned,” she embraces originality and the freedom to explore new techniques in every piece she creates.

One of her most challenging projects involved replicating one of her smaller landscape paintings on a much larger canvas for an overseas client. While it may seem straightforward, the intricacies of scaling up a work of art made it difficult to recreate the same emotion and detail. Every brushstroke, texture, and color balance had to be carefully adjusted to fit the larger canvas, testing her ability to retain the original essence and creative spontaneity.

Monika draws inspiration from the beauty in unusual and unexpected places, letting the world around her guide her artistic journey. To emerging artists, she advises never shying away from experimentation and learning the basics, especially when working with mediums like oil paints. Her work is a testament to the power of innovation, making her art a unique and captivating addition to any space.
