Multimedia artist Monika Mori works with innovative techniques to produce a body of work that is as revolutionary as it is intriguing. Painting with acrylic paint and gouache directly on top of x-ray film, Mori blends two seemingly disparate worlds: the industrial and the handcrafted. Her finger paint swirls of bold, brilliant colors interplay with organic vitality against the cool, clinical monotones of the x-ray imagery.

The artist’s works are deeply personal, allowing her to express without words, yet perhaps more effectively, the trials and tribulations of her own life and the irrepressible artistic spirit that perseveres. In this way, Mori not only writes her biography through painterly means, she relates her message of light and optimism to the masses, quietly uplifting each viewer that passes by.
Born in Moedling, Austria, Monika Mori has exhibited widely throughout Europe and was nominated for the St. Leopold Friedenspreis des Stiftes Klosterneuburg Award for Humanitarianism in the Arts.
