I’m Monika Koch (@MONNEESHKA), a self-taught artist from Poland, based in London since 2003. I create bold, simple portraits of women using strong lines and blocks of colour.
My work is intuitive and expressive, focusing on mood rather than detail. Female beauty and individuality are at the centre of everything I make. I like my faces to feel raw ,honest and imperfect but always full of character. I work with mixed media, including ink, acrylics, gouache, and touches of gold leaf. My style keeps evolving as I experiment and follow what feels right.
