Monika Stalder, born 1981 in Sumiswald (Switzerland), graduated with a Master of Arts in Fine Arts from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). In her oeuvre, Monika moves fluidly between various media, from smaller pencil and ink drawings of minimal, geometrical forms to large scale painting, sound and video works. The process itself is a key element, where the metamorphosis of the initial idea is investigated and documented. Her seemingly perfect, quiet forms have a wild inner life, reverberating under the linear surface, a movement she only desires to control to an extent, allowing spontaneity to guide her. In her Future Moons series, Monika explores alternative universes, a myriad parallel existences of undiscovered celestial bodies. An endless cosmos internalised in the mind, unrestrained by time and history, where our very existence is questioned. Monika’s works are multidimensional, with subtle attention to detail and technique, whilst transporting us deep into her imaginary universe. Monika lives and works in Zurich.
