Portrait of Monica Cohn at a café table

In her words

Summers in France and Italy

“Growing up in the 1950s with an art-interested mother, my early memories reflect back to the summers we spent in France and Italy visiting the Louvre and the Uffizi, and to a centerspread article about Modigliani and Dardel in Femina Magazine. These are experiences that have had a great impact, awakening my curiosity for my creative personality.

I have always had an eye for colors found in my surroundings, which is also one of the main inspirations I translate into my paintings.”

How she works

Oil, acrylic and watercolor

“My medium is primarily painting, and I work with a foundation in oil, acrylic and watercolor paint combined with a selection of materials added to create texture and build dimensions within the composition. I live by the mindset to never stop exploring the possibilities in my work, and that makes my signature ever-changing.”

“Monica Cohn; my mother, mentor and source of inspiration, always there to guide me with her rich experience within the field of art. She’s a great part of my own personal design development and she’s constantly surprising me with her knowledge and endless creative flow of ideas that takes us through an artistic process generating emerging reflections.”
