Shining Star who Shocks the World❤🎨
Without the shadow of a doubt, you all must be familiar with Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and the Vitruvian Man; Michelangelo's David and Creation of Adam and Paul Cezanne's Mont Sainte-Victoire. Yes, these are all splendid pieces of art and an exemplary combination of hard work, paints and deep emotions. I too absolutely adore these paintings, however, I feel that we need to be aware of many more contemporary artists who paint with equally fine quality. Their works must not go unnoticed too. Don't you think that they too deserve your attention? Let me introduce...drum roll, please... ALYSSA MONKS👸! She is an oil painter born in 1977 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Her artistic work will make you think, feel, pay attention to the world in a new perspective. There is a beautiful sultriness to her luscious and figurative paintings. The main subjects of her paintings are often separated from the viewer by a veil or natural barrier. The painting is absorbed and marvelled by the viewer due to the use of vibrant and catchy colours. In Alyssa Monks' works, each stroke is thick which brings empathy to the viewer. She defines creativity as something we can stalk like happiness or passion, it is what defines ourselves. 'Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.' Most of her work is exhibited at the Forum Gallery in New York City. Her famous paintings include Hybrid, Breaking Point, Resolution and countless more that ignite the senses and would help you engage in a whole new world and inspire you to delve deep into the works of this star.✨

Excellent work! Keep it up Manna
