Los Angeles based painter , Monique Caruso has been elevating her skills in painting for the past 8 years. Heavily inspired by boundary pushing contemporary artists such as Alpay Efe , and Lioba Brückner name a few , it’s no wonder Monique’s bold approach to color and fearless use of big texture is demonstrated in her works. Big brush strokes overloaded with thick paint in the background , Monique strikingly propels her subject matter to the front of the canvas. A dash of realism intertwines with electric Impressionism, seamless blends , and warm vintage allure.
