CASTELLO BLUE | 2022

Playing with colours has inspired Monica for a long time. Colours and their nuances are a means of expression for her and, at the same time, a never-ending source of inspiration.

 
 

Again and again she finds new, exciting colour compositions in nature, in everyday life, and in art. Transferring these to the necklaces always presents her with new challenges. She strives for a relatively objective reproduction, colour tones must match, because the smallest colour deviations can have a completely different meaning. The colour quantities are important to consider. She can also interpret the subjects. Playing with these factors always opens up new possibilities for her. Bathing in colours and at the same time striving for aspects that have never been seen before allows her to immerse herself deeply in a subject.

I love beads and colours. It is a great gift for me that my work never feels like work and more like a great joy.
