Moniek Voulon lives and works in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After my work as a graphic designer I started painting in 1990. In 1994 I had my first soloshow in Amsterdam, at Galerie De Verdieping. In 1995 I became a member of Art-association Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam. Received in 1998 a basic stipendium for two years from the Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (Fonds voor Beeldende Kunsten, Vormgeving en Bouwkunst) in Amsterdam. 
Made several solo-exhibitions from 1994 (see my CV on www.moniekvoulon.com) in Amsterdam and in 2001 two solo's in Rome at Gallery Monogramma (article and photograph in Italian newspaper) and at the Business Centre Parco di Medici.

Urban Landscapes

My most recent, architectural inspired, digital work. Year 2024/2025. I create digital works in series of paintings and drawings inspired by architecture. The process of transforming an architectural plan into a painting is carried out primarily by examining building geometry, and then reducing the elements, leading to abstraction. It does not exactly reflect the plans of specific buildings, but rather presents a design symbolizing architecture in an urban landscape. I mix and match different elements in the tradition of concrete, constructivist art, hard edge, minimal art, and other geometric tendencies, as well as presenting the interface between art and design.

Silent City “Silent City”

SILENT CITY: I present digital series of paintings inspired by architecture. The process of transforming an architectural plan into a painting is carried out primarily by examining building geometry, and then reducing the elements, leading to abstraction. It does not exactly reflect the plans of specific buildings, but rather presents a design symbolizing architecture in an urban landscape. I mix and match different elements in the tradition of concrete, constructivist art, hard edge, minimal art, op-art, non-objective art, and other geometric tendencies, as well as at the interface between art and design.

SPLIT LEVEL “SPLIT LEVEL”

I create digital works in series of paintings and drawings inspired by architecture. The process of transforming an architectural plan into a painting is carried out primarily by examining building geometry, and then reducing the elements, leading to abstraction. It does not exactly reflect the plans of specific buildings, but rather presents a design symbolizing architecture in an urban landscape. I mix and match different elements in the tradition of concrete, constructivist art, hard edge, minimal art, and other geometric tendencies, as well as presenting the interface between art and design

CITY PLANNING “CITY PLANNING”

In this work I use part of an oil painting of mine, in order to create a digital work in the series of paintings and drawings inspired by architecture. The process of transforming an architectural plan into a painting is carried out primarily by examining building geometry, and then reducing the elements, leading to abstraction. It does not exactly reflect the plans of specific buildings, but rather presents a design symbolizing architecture, situated in an urban landscape. I mix and match different elements in the tradition of concrete, constructivist art, hard edge, minimal art, and other geometric tendencies, as well as presenting the interface between art and design.

PARKING “PARKING”

I create digital works in series of paintings and drawings inspired by architecture. The process of transforming an architectural plan into a painting is carried out primarily by examining building geometry, and then reducing the elements, leading to abstraction. It does not exactly reflect the plans of specific buildings, but rather presents a design symbolizing architecture in an urban landscape. I mix and match different elements in the tradition of concrete, constructivist art, hard edge, minimal art, and other geometric tendencies, as well as presenting the interface between art and design.
