Munleen Sibia "Muns"
Muns has been painting from a young age and studied Art at A-level. She continued to paint in her free time before deciding to take it up as a full time career.
Currently based at Wimbledon Art Studios in London, she has travelled extensively around the world and has picked up inspiration from the various cultures and sceneries she has been lucky enough to witness. The use of bright colours, in particular, plays a big part in her work.
She enjoys working with palette knives, particularly because of the texture and effect they give the paint.
Photography has always been a passion of hers and many of her paintings have been inspired by photos that she has taken.
Her interest in photography has really developed over the last couple of years which has now led to her selling her photography in a variety of different prints and sizes.
The use of vibrant colours and inspiration from travelling can be seen as a continuing theme in both of her mediums of work.
