MONIRA ART combines vibrant oil and mixed-media paintings with emotional stories.<\/p>\n

I work with oil paints, acrylics, spray paint, ink, collage, gold and metallic elements, and various textures. This results in vibrant, multi-layered works that straddle the line between realism and abstraction. <\/p>\n

My subjects\u2014women, animals, and nature\u2014are combined with vibrant colors and abstract backgrounds. My goal is not simply to create decorative images. My art is meant to evoke something: a sense of freedom, courage, beauty, or a new beginning. <\/p>\n

For many years, art has been my way of sharing my experiences and my zest for life with others. Today, my works are part of private collections and are featured in exhibitions in various countries; they have been on display in Paris, Rome, Madrid, and London, among other places. <\/p>\n

MONIRA ART stands for a zest for life, freedom, and the courage to live out one’s dreams.<\/p>\n

Every original artwork, as well as limited-edition prints, is hand-signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Every original work, as well as limited-edition prints, is hand-signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Amelie Monira has been drawing and painting since childhood. In art class at school, she found it easy to reproduce her work and developed strong drawing skills. <\/p>\n

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. Since she grew up in a family of gardeners, photographers, and nutritionists, it came naturally to her to understand that beauty comes from within and that it\u2019s important to practice a lot to perfect one\u2019s skills. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Many online courses helped her to improve her techniques and it took a while for her style to develop. In 2025, she completed the Mastery Program at the Milan Art Institute in the United States and refined her painting style into the loose, coloristic style she uses today. She paints primarily using mixed media and refines her works with oil paints. <\/p>\n

Today she lives in Meersburg on Lake Constance. She is available for visits in her studio at any time upon request. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Monira’s goal is to bring beauty and aesthetics into the homes and surroundings of her art collectors. Through her paintings of animals, nature, and women in nature, she aims to convey a sense of the joy of life. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

She also helps other artists to build a successful art business by organizing art exhibitions and sharing her knowledge with them in workshops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My inspiration stems from where I grew up: on Lake Constance, surrounded by forests and nature. From an early age, I was fascinated by the beauty, freedom, and power of nature. At the same time, my own life journey, travels, and experiences have shaped me\u2014from my time abroad to personal changes and challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

After a career in marketing and the hospitality industry, I continued to deepen my passion for art and eventually turned it into my profession. Today, all of these experiences find their way into my work: my love of nature, my joy in life, my travels, and above all, the conviction that we can always start anew and forge our own path. <\/p>\n

To me, the connection between women and nature symbolizes freedom, strength, intuition, and a zest for life. The woman is not merely a subject here\u2014she represents a person who follows her own path, dreams, evolves, and continually surpasses herself. <\/p>\n

To me, nature symbolizes precisely this power: it grows, changes, and finds its way. That is why, in my paintings, human emotions intersect with landscapes, plants, and abstract worlds of color. A connection is formed between the inner and outer worlds. <\/p>\n

To me, animals are symbols of qualities that we humans also possess. They can represent freedom, courage, strength, intuition, loyalty, or a sense of connection. <\/p>\n

I am particularly interested in the relationship between humans, animals, and nature. An animal in my paintings should not only look beautiful, but also tell a story and leave room for the viewer’s own interpretation. <\/p>\n

My art is meant to convey a sense of the joy of life.<\/p>\n

Through my artwork, I want to remind people that they are free to dream, to follow their own path, and to shape their own future. My main themes are joy of life, courage, self-confidence, freedom, beauty, and hope. <\/p>\n

That is why many of my works explore themes of change and new beginnings\u2014moments when light, strength, and a new zest for life emerge from a difficult past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. I create custom artwork for individuals, businesses, and special spaces. The result is a one-of-a-kind original that is tailored entirely to your story, your wishes, and your personal style. <\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you can share with me a special moment in your life, a trip, a favorite place, a person, or an animal. Together, we\u2019ll turn that into a work of art that not only fits perfectly in your home but also takes on a very personal meaning. <\/span><\/p>\n

Can you draw a specific place?<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d be happy to. Your favorite place can become an important part of the painting\u2014whether it’s a special vacation spot, your home, a landscape, the ocean, or a place that holds a special memory for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also combine different elements: For example, your favorite place can be transformed into a very personal story on canvas by pairing it with a special person, an animal, or an important moment in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you draw a family portrait?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes. I can bring together individual people or several family members in a single painting. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a traditional family portrait. <\/span><\/p>\n

I especially love incorporating shared memories, places, symbols, or personal elements and using them to create a work of art that tells the story of your bond.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you paint a portrait of an animal?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes\u2014animals are among my favorite subjects. Whether it’s a dog, cat, horse, bird, or wild animal, I can turn your pet into a personalized work of art based on your photos. <\/span><\/p>\n

The portrait can be rendered realistically or incorporate my signature vibrant mixed-media and abstract elements. I can also incorporate your favorite colors, landscapes, or symbolic elements into the painting. <\/span><\/p>\n

How does a commissioned project work?<\/span><\/p>\n

After you submit your request, we’ll discuss your ideas in person, over the phone, or via Zoom. You can show me photos, ideas, your favorite colors, or examples. Photos of the room will also help me develop a design that fits the size, colors, and style. <\/span><\/p>\n

You will then receive a personalized quote with all the agreed-upon details. Once you\u2019ve paid a 50% deposit, I\u2019ll begin working on the project. Throughout the creative process, I\u2019ll keep you updated with photos and videos, and you can request up to three revisions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once completed, the painting will be sealed for protection and delivered after full payment has been received, or it can be picked up by arrangement. Personal delivery and assistance with hanging the painting are also available within the immediate area. Worldwide shipping is available. <\/span><\/p>\n

How long does a commissioned work take?<\/span><\/p>\n

A custom painting takes time because it is created in several layers, and each piece is made especially for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the size, technology, and complexity, production time typically ranges from several weeks to several months.. For larger commissioned projects, the implementation <\/span> can take 1\u20136 months.<\/p>\n

I’ll discuss the estimated timeframe with you when I prepare the quote.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does a custom painting cost?<\/span><\/p>\n

The price depends on the size, technique, number of people or animals, level of detail, and the amount of work required.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a general guide, individual mixed-media paintings currently start at \u20ac0.20 per cm\u00b2. <\/p>\n
