Mona Sharma

I examine who I am, what I do, how I feel, and how I interact with my environment. My practice revolves around personal experiences, surroundings , feeling of home & family life. My most recent projects deal with personal struggle and experiences. whether it be my home , the people I'm with, surroundings, or thoughts. I enjoy using metaphors to explore my existence and surroundings. Relating one circumstance to another. My art is primarily representational. I primarily employed the figurative style to illustrate my own thoughts using myself as the subject.

In my painting technique, the hues that I decide to use. There is a link between emotions and stories. I enjoy using color as a compositional form. For me, using color is a way to convey the feelings I want others to feel. I try to experiment with the mediums & style of work i do. To explore the subject I feel that watercolor, acrylic, found objects( tissue, gauze, sand, wood etc.) & sculptures are very effective & powerful tools.
