Artist Biography / Artist Statement:

Monika Maroziene is a Lithuanian-born visual artist whose work explores the intersection of chemistry and photography. With a master’s degree in chemistry, she brings a unique experimental approach to her art by using natural pine tree resin on black and white prints. This technique not only adds warmth and texture but also preserves the photographs, echoing the natural beauty of her homeland near the Amber Coast.

Her series reflects her deep connection to the Curonian Spit and the Baltic landscape, portraying women as complex, poetic, and powerful figures. Monika’s imagery is known for its emotional depth, poetic irony, and minimalist aesthetic, often exploring themes of solitude, memory, and personal freedom.

Her work has received numerous international awards, including 1st Place at the Monochrome Photography Awards and the Tokyo International Awards.
