About Monique Grant-Patel

ETERNITY- divinely planted in my heart and mind- making everything beautiful in its time. I have been given a second chance to live and I intend to live it on purpose! In 2011 I was diagnosed with Panniculitus, Sub-Cutaneous, T-Cell Lymphoma, for almost a year I underwent treatment and healing of this cancerous disease… and made the conscious decision to begin painting again. I am now free from cancer and feel blessed and honoured that whilst suffering, God would bless me with visions. These have helped me get through the hard times. I am able to express my gratefulness, for such a gift that I have been blessed with. I love conceptual art, abstract work, I am not bound to any genre I love many. I'm currently developing abstract landscapes, pop art scriptural images and a conceptual project named 'Family units'. I love using mixed media and building textures on the canvas surface. My heroes and heroins of art span from Bridget Riley's lush flower paintings to Andy Warhol's, bold Pop art images but most of all I could stand and gaze at Turner's seascapes for a lifetime, they mesmerise me and take me to a beautiful place.
