ART EXPLORE

a series of works from artist Abhijit Pathak’s art residency at Les Ateliers du Quai in Monaco

Exhibition opens 19^th May

“Reflections of Monaco presents a body of work created during a transformative residency in the heart of the Mediterranean. This series marks a personal and artistic evolution—an exploration of how place and environment leave an imprint.

Immersed in the coastal rhythms, vibrant streets, and rich cultural life of Monaco, I found myself drawn to a new visual language. The city’s light, colour, and energy reshaped my palette and introduced a minimalist sensibility into my compositions. Each work in this series echoes the quiet elegance and dynamic spirit of the region, interpreted through my abstract vision.

The exhibition features a range of mediums—canvases, intimate works on paper, photographs, and videos. My paintings continue to explore themes of memory and identity, now infused with the calm and clarity that Monaco inspired. The photographs capture fleeting moments and visual impressions from daily life, while the videos bring the textures of the city to life, weaving a layered narrative of its spaces and people.

Reflections of Monaco is a story of transformation—an introspective dialogue between artist and place. It invites you to witness how a new environment can expand a practice, shift a perspective, and spark a new chapter in creative expression.”
