Monica Ramos - Jaunt Forma release
We are, once again, very proud to present the results of our Jaunt Forma series. After having worked together with Scott Albrecht and Hyland Mather, we sent out Monica Ramos for the third instalment of the Jaunt Forma series, in which a series of unique artworks is created.
For her trip, Monica travelled to Jaipur, India, the city also known as 'The Pink City'. Here she got inspired by the omnipresent patterns in and around Jaipur. From the Jantar Mantar observatory to the Hawa Mahal Palace. The one place being even more impressive than the other. Inspiration for her series of Jaipur Patterns paintings was around every corner.
If you scroll a little bit further down, you can read more about Monica's experiences and impressions during her trip. We also have the last few available paintings for sale.
Meanwhile, we are preparing for the announcement of our next Jaunt Forma trip, which we will announce in a few weeks time.
Enjoy the summer and see you soon.
Qua Patet Orbis.

A little word from Monica Ramos:
"Growing up in Manila, a city not known for architectural feats, I always feel drawn to places with impressive and distinctive buildings. I wanted to see Jaipur, the Pink City, in the hopes of living out some romanticized travel fantasy. At times it was tough being a solo female traveller in India. You get a lot of stares and people take advantage when they know you're not from around there.
I loved getting lost in the forts at the outskirts of the city and wandering around the markets in the old part of town. I was especially taken by the patterns that I saw everywhere, florals block printed onto bed sheets, mosaics made out of mirrors, muqarnas carved into ceilings, lattice screens made of sandstone, arched windows, handprinted blue ties. I admired both the order and the chaos. I also went to a block printing workshop in Bagru, a small town known for its textile printing, to try to learn a new skill that I could incorporate into this project for The Jaunt. It was inspiring to see all the different motifs of the Bagru textiles.
When I got back to New York, I bought a book about Islamic art and architecture, in an attempt to teach myself the basics of geometric art. The resulting paintings strayed from the rigid and precise tradition, but are a mix of a systematic approach to painting in a grid and my impressions of the city."
