Collecting Emotions

Monika Maria Klenner employs various mediums to capture emotions with form, colour, and texture in her paper-based artworks.

Emotions are one-of-a-kind; every person experiences them in their own way.

Each piece in this collection tells a story. Klenner draws inspiration from her everyday surroundings such as home, the garden, the wilderness, or the beach. In her attempts to capture these passing moments, she employs a range of mediums including watercolours, coloured pencils, graphite, gouache, oil paint, soft pastels, and pigment ink, all on paper.
