Artworks by Monica Maja Richardson

I am a London-based Italian artist whose work emerges from intuition, emotion, and the quiet dialogue between colour and feeling. As a self-taught abstract painter I explore the space where spontaneity meets reflection — translating fragments of memory, mood, and movement into layers of vibrant expression. I am driven to paint because it is where I feel most connected to myself. Abstract art allows me to express emotions that are often difficult to put into words—moments of joy, uncertainty, reflection, and growth. When I paint, I am not trying to recreate what I see; I am translating what I feel. The process is deeply personal and intuitive, guided by emotion, colour, texture, and movement. Each canvas becomes a space where I can be completely honest, explore my inner world, and create something meaningful from experiences that have shaped me.
