About Monika Taffet
The impasto oil paintings of Monika Taffet, born in 1968 in Transylvania (formerly Hungary; today Romania), show influences of traditional genres such as still life and landscape painting. The artist with Hungarian-German roots attended an art high school before moving to Germany in 1986. There she studied at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin under Professor Klaus. In 1996, she even became a master student.
She is a plein air painter and creates all her paintings in nature. Only finishing touches are applied in the studio. She mainly uses oil paints, which she packs and layers on the painting surface. The results are relief-like structures that make the liveliness of the leaves and grasses in the wind and the waves breaking over the edge of the picture perceptible. However, the background colour is applied comparatively thinly, which makes the vegetation in the foreground of the picture stand out even more so that her works become almost three-dimensional.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
