Monika finds harmony in asymmetry and tensions among varied textures and contrasting finishes. She enjoys irregularities and imperfections. She often counterbalances precious metals with pebbles and found objects. She loves to use raw gemstones. Their unexpected shapes and colors help to tell a unique story, making each piece distinctive in its expression. Her inspiration comes from sculptural forms, natural or human-made; from a curious mind; from walking with her dog.
