-- Exploring Feminism and Healing Through Art
Monica Brinkman, the creative mind behind the Feminist Art Community on FeministArt.ca, is exploring the role of art in both personal healing and cultural activism. As a Canadian artist, she intricately blends her love for feminism and the natural world through abstract paintings, creating pieces that invite reflection, personal growth, and connection. Her artwork isn’t just a decoration for your home or yoga studio—it is an invitation for deeper introspection, a healing method, and a creative mindfulness practice.
Monica’s art holds an invitation to explore the intersections of identity, vulnerability, and resilience, offering a sanctuary for those seeking art that speaks to the soul. With her intuitive approach to painting, each piece carries a unique story—one deeply tied to her own experiences, the personal journey of healing, and her relationship with nature.
The Intention Behind the Paintings: Mindful Art
What sets Monica Brinkman apart from other artists is her dedication to the Fem Art community and unique “whimsical with an edge” abstract acrylic style. “I am not creating art to follow trends or fill spaces. I paint from a place of deep connection, each brushstroke purposeful and forms a personal experience,” Brinkman explains. She firmly believes in the power of intentional art as an antidote to the fast consumer culture that often dominates the art world, especially in the age of artificial intelligence
In a world obsessed with instant gratification, Brinkman’s mindful approach allows her to dive deep into each piece, cultivating an art practice that honors the time and care required for both creation and reflection. Her paintings are not mass-produced nor intended to be trendy; instead, they are crafted with a genuine intention to foster healing, empowerment, and connection.
Her art differs from traditional themes, blending feminist concepts with yoga poses, the female form, vibrant colors, and intricate symbolism.. Brinkman’s paintings offer a window into the beauty of imperfection, a concept deeply rooted in her feminist approach. She embraces flaws and uses them as a point of strength, emphasizing the power of vulnerability in both the creative process and the final artwork.
Feminist Art in Canada: A Growing Movement
Brinkman’s work is part of a larger movement of feminist art in Canada, where women are using their creative voices to challenge societal norms and amplify their lived experiences. Feminist art is about more than creating visual beauty; it’s about using art as a tool for activism and healing. Through her practice, Brinkman connects with a community of individuals who value personal growth, introspection, and creating spaces that reflect their values.
“I believe feminist art has a powerful role to play right now,” Brinkman continues. “It’s a call to action for personal and collective growth. Art can heal, and it can challenge the status quo. It’s about finding our voice, expressing our truths, and making space to process the experiences that shape us.”
Brinkman’s work resonates deeply within the yoga and wellness community, where her abstract paintings are often displayed to complement the serene, meditative atmosphere of yoga studios. One of her clients, Elda Giardetti, co-owner of Modo Yoga Hamilton, shared her experience with Brinkman’s artwork. “Her art, much like yoga, embodies self-awareness and inner exploration,” said Giardetti. “The piece 'Shadow Work' particularly resonated with me. It mirrors the process we go through in yoga, confronting and embracing our inner emotions, shadows, and truths.”
Healing Through Art: A Personal Practice
Brinkman’s commitment to using art as a form of healing is reflected in her growing body of work, which seeks to deepen the viewer’s understanding of themselves and the world around them. Her paintings, like "Shadow Work" and "Dream”," act as windows into the self, creating spaces where people can find solace and clarity in the chaos of their lives. Each piece carries its own story, both personal and universal, offering a space for reflection and inner growth.
For many of her clients, Brinkman’s paintings are more than just pieces of art; they become an integral part of their own healing journeys. “We are so happy to be able to add this amazing piece to the gallery wall at the Move Room,” says Jo Gale, owner of The Move Room, a yoga and wellness studio. “We host Rainbow Moves classes for the LGBTQIA+ community and are glad to have this painting to further show our support.”
The art of Monica Brinkman represents intention, mindfulness, and the ongoing struggle for personal and collective healing. Each brushstroke, each color, and each texture serves as a reminder of the beauty found in softness and strength.
