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. 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 Germany and has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Hotel Management. She worked for several years in 5-star hotels and in her family business.

She also helps other artists to build a successful art business by organizing art exhibitions and sharing her knowledge with them in workshops.

A mixed media painting consists of a painting on canvas that is created using various materials. Finally, it is made to shine with oil colours. This takes several weeks. Amelie Monira has written a step-by-step list to explain how an art collector would go about commissioning a unique piece. You can read more here.
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 mixture 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 colour. 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 immediately. Amelie Monira adds textured colour to the print to make it look like the original painting. As soon as the colour has dried, it is ready for dispatch and is sent directly from the studio, just like we do for an original painting.
A regular print can be printed on several substrates (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 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. An original painting is the ultimate product. It can be any size, from very small to huge. The works are unique. Amelie Monira has her canvases made in Germany and uses high-quality paints to express her creativity and visions on her canvases. The prints are signed by hand and are sent with a certificate of authenticity.
Yes, only 30 pieces will be created for each original painting, regardless of whether it was requested by a collector or created by Amelie Monira on her own decision and regardless of size. They all come with a certificate of authenticity. They are therefore more valuable than a normal print. They are only available in limited quantities and are hand-signed.

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.
To ensure that you can enjoy your acrylic or Alu-Dibond print for a long time, you should pay attention to the following points:
