Frequently asked questions & answers
Amelie Monira has been drawing and painting since her youth. She found it easy to reproduce in art lessons at school and developed great drawing skills. At the age of 10, she mainly painted with watercolors and colored pencils. Amelie Monira felt a deep calling to become an artist and was very diligent in her studies of painting techniques. Growing up in a family of gardeners, photographers and nutritionists, it was natural for her to understand that beauty comes from within and that you have to practice something to perfect it. She has traveled all over the world to collect and process inspiration from different cultures. She later lived for several years in New Zealand, Mexico and Venezuela, where she met and learned from many different artists. Many online courses helped her to improve her techniques and it took a while for her style to develop. Today she lives in Heiligenberg, south germany close to Lake of Constance. It wasn’t until 2021, when she began the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute in the USA, that she refined her painting style into the loose, coloristic style she has today.
Amelie Monira went to school in Überlingen on Lake Constance in Germany and has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Hotel Management. She worked for several years in 5-star hotels in Berlin and in her family business on Lake Constance. She later completed the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute and became a professional artist. Her paintings are represented in private collections worldwide.
Monira’s intention is to bring beauty and aesthetics into the homes and environments of her art collectors. Monira wants to help people discover their inner superpower and support them in living their dreams. With her art, she aims to make the world a better place. It donates part of its profits to charitable organizations (e.g. keeping the environment clean, strengthening human rights, raising awareness of values in society, helping children and animals in need to have a safer and better life). She also helps other artists to build a successful art business by organizing art exhibitions and sharing her knowledge with them in workshops.

These workshops are for you if you enjoy painting, want to create a work of art that you can be proud of and want to live out your creativity.
Give yourself a creative break!
Create your own work of art under my guidance – from the initial idea to the finished picture. You don’t need any previous knowledge, just the desire to experiment!
I will show you how to play with colors, textures and different materials to create unique works.
The course takes place in small groups of 4-6 participants so that everyone has enough space and individual support. In the inspiring surroundings of the bamboo forest in Heiligenberg or the Consciousness Center in Markdorf, you can let go, immerse yourself and let your creativity run free.
You get the opportunity to leave everyday life behind you and experience a day full of creativity in beautiful surroundings with nice people.
Mixed media means that a course work is created using many materials and techniques (spray paint, acrylic paint, ink, stencils, gold leaf, etc.).
Amelie will give a short introduction to painting techniques at the beginning and then guide you through the painting process. As an experienced artist, you will learn a lot from her and create a beautiful work of art.
No previous knowledge is required for any of the workshops, all materials are provided and you can try out many painting techniques.
You will see; it will be a day that you will remember for a long time. The bamboo forest alone is full of creativity and magical corners for you to explore.

Treat yourself to this valuable time for yourself and your art – I look forward to accompanying you!
Your painting will be delivered ready to hang. A hanging rope or hook is already attached to the back of the painting. It is best to hang your wired painting on two hooks that are about 10-20 cm apart (depending on the size of the picture). When hanging your artwork, make sure it is at eye level so that your wall is easily accessible and pleasant to look at. If you have a mix of small and large artworks, arrange them to create a balanced visual flow.
In summary, choosing artwork for your living room is a creative adventure that allows you to fill your space with your unique personality and style.
Depending on how you light your picture, it will look different. Natural ambient light gives your painting a pleasant atmosphere in daylight, which changes subtly as the sun rises and sets throughout the day. At night, on the other hand, you are completely dependent on artificial light. You have probably already noticed how great paintings look in a gallery. Art galleries use warm or cool spotlights to highlight the colors in certain areas of the painting and to intensify the light on the center of the painting. You can imitate this effect in your home by installing halogen spotlights on the ceiling above your painting. These lights are surprisingly inexpensive to install (an electrician can fit them in a few hours), and if you want, you can buy the lights yourself online. But even without direct lighting for your painting, the artwork will look good with a nearby light bulb. A light directed from above allows you to see the thick brushstrokes, perceive every subtle color variation and enjoy the painting in a whole new light.

This is a print with retouched color. This can be acrylic or oil paint and other mixed media materials such as gold leaf. The prints are 100% printed in Germany with high-quality inks on canvas, they are already stretched on a wooden frame and can be hung up immediately. Amelie Monira adds textured color to the print to make it look like the original painting. As soon as the paint is dry, it is ready for dispatch and is sent directly from the studio, just as we do for an original painting. Any artwork can be converted into an embellished print on request. Just write an e-mail and ask for it.
A regular print does not have a limited edition and can be printed on several supports (canvas, acrylic glass, paper, etc.). These are simply high-quality inks that are printed on a specific material. It can be printed and collected endlessly. It does not come from Amelie Monira’s studio, but from a very high-quality company that produces the prints on demand.
An embellished print is 100% made in Germany and has a limited edition (Amelie determines the edition for each painting). Amelie Monira has selected the best print shops in Germany and tested them herself. The print arrives at her studio, she retouches it with textured paint to make it look like the original, and as soon as it is dry, she sends it from the studio to the collector. The prints are signed by hand and are sent with a certificate of authenticity.
An original painting is the ultimate product. It can be any size, from very small to huge. The works are unique. The canvas are made in Germany and Monira uses high-quality paints to express her creativity and visions on her canvases.
Yes, only a maximum of 30 prints of an exclusive work of art are produced – each limited edition print guarantees its uniqueness and collector’s value.

Prints on panels are high-quality prints on acrylic glass or Alu-Dibond.
Acrylic glass is also known as art glass . This is a transparent plastic panel on which a painting has been printed using high-quality inks. Acrylic glass is therefore not glass in the conventional sense, as it is made of plastic. Acrylic glass is particularly popular due to its break resistance and impact strength.
Alu-Dibond prints are printed on sturdy, weather- and UV-resistant aluminum panels and are therefore perfect for outdoor use – and look fantastic at the same time.
Works of art are easy to care for. Original paintings and decorated prints all have a protective varnish that protects them from UV light and dust.
Simply remove dust from original works and art prints on canvas by carefully wiping the artwork with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Small imperfections such as dents or pressure marks on the canvas can often be softened or even removed by lightly spraying the reverse side with water. This works best with a standard flower sprayer. After spraying, the canvas will smooth itself out by the next day so that dents and impressions disappear.
If the frame of the canvas has warped slightly, for example if a corner is protruding from the wall, only hammer wooden wedges into two opposite corners on the back of the picture. Insert the wooden wedges into the slots provided in the corners and tighten the canvas by hammering them in very carefully. This makes it quick and easy to straighten the frame. If you are framing the picture with a shadow gap frame, this is also a solution.
To ensure that you can enjoy your acrylic or Alu-Dibond print for a long time, you should pay attention to the following points:
