The embroidery technique has always fascinated the artist Karin Monschauer, allowing her to internalize the connection and interweaving between colors and shapes. Historically this methodology, raqm in Arabic, allows you to create an ornamental design on a fabric through the use of one or more threads with different colours.
The initial manual skill allowed the digital artist Karin to create, through the use of software designed for art design, abstract works rich in geometric evolutions connected mutually thanks to a vast tonal range, divided between warm and cold areas.
In this combination Monschauer proposes visual languages ​​characterized by ideas obtained through factors such as pure imagination, the explicit reference to nature and the textures created by skilled ancient and modern masters. Precisely the latter refer to those Middle Eastern carpets that the Luxembourg-born artist elaborates on a computer level, for a subject divided between past and present, always within her production.
Since 2015, thanks to computer graphics, Karin has begun the geometric and chromatic cycle of her current artistic production. In fact, as per the methodology of computer graphics, different hardware and software develop her creativity in highly perceptive works. The figure-background that Monschauer obtains, fully completing the work, provides infinite interpretations that live simultaneously.
The digital creations are then printed in high definition on canvas, obtaining works of different sizes.
As a demonstration of this approach, her creations are characterized by various codes that combine into fantastic artificial universes with abstract geometry.
The resulting combinations are always punctual within a creative process, visually providing the observer with a never static sensation. Thanks to Gestalt psychology, a perception of induced movement and good continuity is determined.
Karin digitally paints indefinite traces that every human being interprets and follows.

In addition to digital and embroidery works, the artist has, in recent years, also begun to express himself through more “traditional” mediums, maintaining his unmistakable energetic and at the same time harmonious style. Through painting, markers and pastels she creates works with a strong visual impact and overwhelming movement.

Her works are currently permanently present at the European Art Museum, Frederiksvaerk Denmark, with one work and at the Le Bois Du Cazier Museum, Charleroi Belgium, with four works.
