Monika Aranha












Born in Poland but raised in Brazil, Monika Konstancia fell in love with the lush nature and vibrant colors of the tropics. After studying at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London, she returned to Brazil and went on to work with Brazilian designers and architects, amongst them Claudio Bernardes, specializing in the decoration of island properties. Her designs on cloth were exhibited in the Casa Cor Expo, featured in Elle magazine and represented by several galleries in Rio de Janeiro. Her singular strokes and brilliant hues evoke the joy and poetry of a tropical paradise and create unique panels of light and wonder. She works with, among other things, harem cotton gauze. Monika is also known for her oversized panels and murals.
She now lives on St. John, USVI and her work can be seen at Sugar Apple in Coral Bay, at Big Fish or on her website.
