Monica Ghule’s works have an air of magic about them. There is a vivid dream-like quality to her depictions of childhood. Her works, using acrylic on canvas hark back to a simpler time for the viewer – the unbridled joy of swinging high on a tree-held swing, the innocence of childhood, laughing with a sibling, or just relishing the joy of doing nothing.

There is as much attention to detail for the background as is paid to the subjects in the foreground. Well loved, nostalgic motifs from childhood often frame the background – you will find leaves, butterflies, paper planes and birds serving as cheerful character in her works.

A village scene from the day-to-day life from many roles that women play – transporting you back to the homeland.
