"Our Day Will Come" is a bright, joyful abstract oil painting by Monica Shulman that explores themes of self-reflection, the human condition, and identity. Monica uses her materials, specifically thick layers of oil paint and oil pastel, as an active participant in the paintings that explore a yearning to connect with each other after living in an extended period of isolation. An intuitive painter, Monica uses which ever medium will best help her express her ideas and in this piece she explores the various shades and values found in nature by using texture and layers with oil paint. Punctuating her rhythmic, gestural marks with varying shades of blue, pink, green, blue, and purple, together with strong contrasts in black and white, Monica creates a vivid and energetic painting that will add dimension and color to any space. This mixed media, sculptural painting is created on a gallery-wrapped canvas that is painted on all four sides.
