About Monika Sieveking
The Berlin artist Monika Sieveking, who was born in Potsdam in 1944, is primarily one thing: versatile. Her expressive pictorial art, committed to realism, testifies to a broad spectrum of artistic techniques, ranging from drawings, lithographs and watercolours to panel paintings, large-format altarpieces and even murals in public spaces - for example, she was engaged in Europe's largest mural project, "Kunst am Bau", in Berlin-Kreuzberg from 1986 to 1994.
The pictorial subjects of the versatile and experimental artist are mainly people in contemporary events, portraits (for example, she painted the chairwoman, Prof. Limbach, for the Federal Constitutional Court) and also still lifes and landscapes, some of which she narrates in imaginative depictions.
Monika Sieveking studied at the University of the Arts in Berlin and was a master's student of Heinz Trökes. She lives and works as a freelance artist in Berlin. In addition to around 50 solo exhibitions in Germany and abroad. Moreover, she has participated in numerous exhibitions and has worked in museums.
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.
