Moreover, her illustrations have been used on wallpaper, cups, pillows and recently also on a large billboard campaign for BIC.

Linocuts

Nowadays Monika mainly works with a large hand press, with which she prints her linocuts in a limited edition. She uses beautiful, high-quality Fabriano paper. Through the old and traditional craftsmanship of linocut technique, she expresses her creativity in a modern way. A technique that requires a lot of patience and precision.

Prints

The Monika collection consists of a series of lino prints, with shapes and structures from nature, such as flowers and leaves. The prints have beautiful, almost sculptural shapes, whose refined patterns, such as from a leaf or a flower, are clearly visible. Her prints fit well in a modern interior because of the golden color and the beautiful details.
