“Shaped by Time, Held by Light”

This artwork embodies a subtle yet powerful journey of transformation—an exploration of releasing deeply rooted patterns that once caused pain, and allowing them to evolve into something lighter.

Layered in earthy tones of brown and beige, the piece creates a sense of grounding and safety, gently holding space as emotions surface. A soft, mist-like veil of white moves across the composition, symbolizing light entering, clearing, and guiding the way forward.

The work invites stillness, reflection, and a subtle return to inner balance.

Details:
• Size: 100 × 100 cm
• Materials: textured layers, minerals, acrylic paint
• Finish: varnished surface for depth and protection
• Signature: subtle initials on the front, fully signed on the back.

"The Alchemy of the Sea" 80x60 cm - is now available in Galerie Groede (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen).
https://www.monikatargiel.eu/product/the-alchemy-of-sea-80x60-cm/

The Alchemy of Sea is an original abstract painting that continues my exploration of texture, sea-inspired colour palettes, and refined metallic accents.

The composition balances two contrasting surfaces: one richly textured and sculptural, the other smoother and more fluid. This interplay creates depth and movement, echoing the changing surface of the sea.

Soft tones reminiscent of turquoise waters bring a sense of calm and spaciousness, while subtle metallic touches catch the light and add sophistication.

The painting is ready to hang.
A certificate of authenticity is attached to the back.

The artwork has been varnished and protected against UV rays to preserve the colours and surface over time. The deep edges (4 cm) are carefully painted in white, allowing the piece to be displayed beautifully with or without an additional frame.

“The Living Pulse of Earth”
This 90 × 90 cm original painting is now available.
Created slowly and intuitively, it holds dozens of layered textures and subtle movements. Grounding earthy tones meet delicate whites and soft violet light, while fine crackles — like healed scars — are touched with gold, symbolizing wounds transformed into strength.
This work is not simply decorative.
It carries presence. Depth. Power.
It was born from an intense, meditative process — a reflection of the healing journey, where earth anchors us and light gently lifts us forward. A piece for a space that values meaning, story, and energy as much as beauty.
For collectors who feel connected to art that transforms a room — and the person living with it.

"Emerald Dreams"
70 × 70 cm | Mixed Media on Canvas | Acrylic • Texture Layers • Metallic Accents

There are paintings you look at…
and there are paintings you feel.

Emerald Dreams belongs to the second kind.

Built slowly and patiently through many intuitive layers of texture, acrylic paint, and soft metallic reflections, this piece carries the quiet depth of an emerald forest after rain — rich, alive, and breathing with light. As you move past it, subtle metallic accents catch the sun like morning dew, shifting gently throughout the day.

It doesn’t just decorate a space.
It changes the atmosphere of a room.

This painting was created in a calm, meditative state, and its energy naturally settled around one theme: heart healing.

Especially the tender places we rarely speak about —
betrayal, disappointment, broken trust.

The invisible wounds that can come from:
– parent to child
– friend to friend
– partner to partner
– colleague or business relationships
– or life simply not unfolding as expected

Emerald Dreams holds space for repair.

The deep greens soothe the nervous system.
The layered textures symbolize resilience and growth.
The soft light within the painting reminds you that even after loss, something new can grow stronger and wiser.

It’s the kind of piece you want to wake up to — and exhale in front of at the end of the day.

Perfect for:
Living rooms • bedrooms • healing spaces • therapy rooms • meditation corners • interiors that value soul as much as style

This small collection of "Forest Ferns" was created after mindful, enchanted walks through the woodland that rests just before the sea in Zeeland, near Oostkapelle — that rare place where forest air mingles with salt and light.

Each painting captures the gentle rhythm of that landscape: ferns slowly unfolding, soft green shadows, sunlight filtering through leaves, and the grounding stillness you feel under the trees. Layers of emerald, moss, and subtle golden reflections evoke the sensation of walking through the forest after rain — calm, breathing, alive.

The works can be arranged horizontally or vertically, allowing you to create your own flowing composition, like fragments of nature growing across the wall.

Painted on cotton canvas using high-quality acrylics, modelling paste, gold leaf, and wax, each surface carries a rich, tactile texture.

Acrylic on stretched canvases, ready to hang.
Protected with satin varnish.
Certificate of authenticity included.

A quiet sanctuary of green for your interior — a window into the forest, a breath of Zeeland’s nature at home.

"Waves of the Inner Sea I & II"
A pair of round, richly textured paintings, each with a diameter of 60 cm.

Created on wooden board using texture paste, acrylic paints, and subtle applications of gold leaf, the works are finished with a protective varnish that enhances depth and luminosity. The surfaces carry a tactile, almost sculptural quality, evoking inner landscapes shaped by movement, rhythm, and quiet strength.

Each artwork is signed on the reverse and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

I have consciously chosen to no longer place my signature on the front of my paintings. Once a work enters a new home, it becomes part of the client’s personal space, their story, and their interpretation. I believe the artwork should speak freely—without the constant presence of the artist’s name—allowing the viewer to form an intimate, uninterrupted connection with the piece. For this reason, all new works are signed discreetly on the back.

The exhibition is now live ✨
A carefully selected collection of my paintings is on view in the lobby of Hilton Rotterdam, chosen to harmonise with the hotel’s interior design and meet the highest quality standards.
I create art with intention—art that brings cosiness, wellbeing, and positive reflection. Art that doesn’t only move you visually, but emotionally.
Set within contemporary architecture and the dynamic rhythm of the city, the paintings introduce warmth and calm into the space. They add softness and depth, transforming the lobby into a welcoming place where guests can pause, breathe, and truly feel at home.
It’s a beautiful experience to see art not just decorate a space, but shape its atmosphere.

✨ New work. New direction. New possibilities. ✨

Here are three of my most recent paintings, soon to be exhibited in Rotterdam.
These works explore a deeper dialogue between abstract forms and landscape elements—where movement, depth, and emotion meet.

Built with rich, heavy textures and shaped through ongoing experimentation, each piece reveals itself slowly, changing with light and perspective. They are created to live in refined interiors—spaces that value atmosphere, calm, and character.

My work is often chosen for hotels, high-end interiors, and private collections, and I also create custom-made originals, tailored to a specific space, energy, or vision.

If you are interested in:
• acquiring one of these originals
• commissioning a custom artwork
• collaborating on a hospitality or interior project

Feel free to message me directly.
