Monique Sakellarios

Immerse yourself in the luminous, warm palette of Monique Sakellarios, featured prominently at Go Native Gallery. Born in Egypt and educated at the Leonardo Da Vinci School of Art and the American University in Cairo, Monique has earned national acclaim for her vibrant Impressionist oil paintings. Deviating from traditional methods, she primes her canvases with a bold layer of cadmium red before executing a masterful, loose wet-on-wet technique. This innovative approach alters the behavior of subsequent layers, tricking the eye into believing light radiates directly from behind the painting. A signature member of the Oil Painters of America and the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society, her lush garden pathways, market scenes, and sweeping abstract land and seascape paintings, such as Genesis, Exodus, and Enchanted Pathway, are highly collectible.
