Jewel designer, assolutamente sì, ma anche fotografa emozionale, stupendo il suo volume sulle pozzanghere di New York, sperimentatrice, ricercatrice curiosa, appassionata cultrice di nuove tecnologie e nello stesso tempo amante delle antiche tecniche di lavorazione della materia.

Born in Milano, Monica has chosen to open her workshop-store in her home away from home, Brooklyn, where she makes her jewels, most of which single pieces. «My problem is that I make lots of jewels, I can’t stop it! ». Indeed, her show-room in Milano is filled with lots of her creations, some of which are actual sculptures that are just perfect if displayed or hanged on a wall, as one would do with a painting.

Nata a Milano, ha scelto tuttavia New York per la sede del suo atelier, la sua città d’adozione, e dove principalmente produce i suoi molti pezzi unici. «Il mio problema è la quantità, io produco moltissimo, non so fermarmi». E davvero il suo show-room di Milano è ricco di moltissime sue creazioni, alcune quasi sculture che sono perfette anche solo esibite come soprammobile o appese come un dipinto.
