Greetings from Miami

Description

Greetings from Miami, 2017, by Monika Nowak and Yaniv Edery is a unique mixed media with resin on aluminium. This mixed media work is signed, titled and thumbprinted on a plate attached to the back of the piece.

Nowak’s fragile heroines are paradoxical, contradictory, excessive, but also dreamy, soft, wild, poetic and provocative.

Yaniv Edery magnifies these beautiful images to make them appear three dimensional and more colorful. Yaniv Edery is a self-taught artist and printer using a revolutionary new kind of printer to magnify Monika Nowak’s graphic designed photographs.  The result is magnificent images in three-dimensions making the feeling of the art very present and almost alive.  We are very proud to present these incredible pop art mixed with street art artworks so very close to the trends of today.

Monika Nowak was born in Clermont-Ferrand (in the center of France) from a family of Polish artists. She lives and works in Paris. Her mother, an actress in a theatre group in Krakow, was the prime model for her gallery of female models, as well as female heroes from Hitchcock movies, rock music, fashion or science fiction literature. After graduating from the prestigious Universities of Beaux-Arts and the Ecole Supérieur des Arts et des Industries Graphiques (University of Graphic Arts) in Paris, she worked as a Creative Director for several global media groups. Monika Nowak’s work explores her intuition: energetic, independent and proactive. Through her sexy-pop heroines, she expresses a certain vision of today’s woman, strong but fragile. During her artistic career she developed a vision of epic universes where the marvelous coexists with the barbarous, the poetic provokes the aesthetic, and the melancholic alternates with the euphoric. Her fragile heroines are paradoxical, contradictory, excessive, but also dreamy, soft, wild, poetic and provocative. Monika Nowak’s sexy-pop women are built upon an image of the Slavic spirit as described by the aestheticist Dominique Fernandez : “A soul that allows light to pass, whether from Heaven or God, that is what one agrees ‘Slavic’ is.“
