Simone Monney’s early works were marine landscapes – oil paintings created with a spatula. With a few strokes she created a sense of depth, capturing the eye with moody, melancholic horizons lapped by waves. Very quickly, music asserted itself as a major source of inspiration, generating a sense of elation, from pianissimo to forte, as if impelled by a conductor’s baton.

Next, her urge to express new emotions found in Indian Ink a choice medium where the clear-cut meets the vague and softness encounters roughness. Mixing and blending techniques and the use of metallic colour pigments call light into play, giving rise to moods corresponding to each different kind of ambient lighting.

For Simone, art is much like a voyage into herself. Sensitiveness and spirituality encounter fervor and  enthusiasm, mirroring the multitude of  her inspirations. A keen observer with a strong sense of aesthetics, she assembles arrays of harmonious colors with new innovative perspectives. Her innate curiosity leads her ceaselessly to explore new horizons.

Along with her painting, Simone Monney organizes events on the theme of different forms of art (for example, Brunch-Arts). Each in its own way an exploration of sensitivity and emotions, these events provide a common terrain for the meeting of artists and art lovers.
