Monika Kargol is a painter living in Wroclaw. She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, studying "Painting" in the studio of Prof. Krzysztof Walaszek.
For her, art is an inspiration in everyday life, and painting allows her to express herself, overcome her own weaknesses and show the world from a different perspective. The subject of her works is not only the problems of the modern world, but also nature . She does not close herself to one theme, style and technique. She likes change and this can be seen in her works. Sometimes they are paintings with very narrow colors, calm, nostalgic, reflective. Other times they are full of expression, colors and different sounds. She likes to change techniques, searching and experimenting all the time. In this she is steadfast and patient. She expresses this in her paintings. Only in adulthood did she decide to educate the passion she has carried in her heart since childhood. The first step was the Study of Computer Graphics in Wroclaw in 2000- 2002, after which she honed her craft at community centers and various courses. In 2016, she decided to start studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. Many of her works are in private collections at home and abroad.
