Monique Frydman

Monique Frydman is a French painter whose practice centers on the exploration of color, light, and materiality through large-scale abstract works. Based between Paris and New York, she has developed a distinctive approach that involves the use of pastel pigments applied directly with her hands, as well as unconventional materials such as fabric and natural fibers, creating surfaces of remarkable tactile and luminous depth. Her work is rooted in a sustained inquiry into perception and sensation, drawing on the phenomenological traditions of French thought while maintaining a deeply sensory, bodily engagement with paint and surface.
