@alyssamonks is known for her experimentation with layers and semi-transparent foregrounds. The painter captures moments almost in a photographic manner with a gesture of capturing momentary closeness, expression and touch. On her website it is stated further: “The tension in her paintings is created by the composition and also by the surface quality itself. Each brushstroke is thickly applied, like a fossil recording every gesture and decision, evoking the energy of the handmade object. This unpredictable surface recalls the human touch, conveying her empathy through the work.” posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CRiftAaBN3O/
