Momentum, Monique Olsen

I believe that life is made up of colors; Color can be viewed as a way to express feelings and emotions. In my art bright, vibrant colors and contrasts are a must. The themes that are recurring focus on identity and cultural heritage, tangible and not tangible. Assessing the beauty found in each context and the appreciation of the values of life. My inspiration comes from seeing up closely diversity, the sense of belonging and acceptance is sought throughout life and portrayed in my art, embracing our hopes and dreams.

In my painting I intend to express the ratio of momentum to the movement that defines the evolution of the female gender, which has been transformative through time and more present than ever. Women now in days have been released from the stigma that had held them aside without voice imposed by some stereotypes. Engaged to explore femininity in ways that are meaningful to be a woman of today, the seductive, intelligent, daring woman that take action and the spotlight, awaking cultural awareness to embrace the divine femininity.
