Galina Munroe

Galina Munroe’s practice centres on intimacy, care, and the quiet structures of everyday life. Working with simplified forms, strong colour fields, and open space, she creates paintings that appear direct yet carefully composed. Floral motifs recur throughout her work, not as decoration, but as a way of exploring repetition and the importance of everyday objects often overlooked. By focusing on visual languages historically associated with softness and the domestic sphere, Munroe highlights their strength and relevance within contemporary painting.

Working primarily with painting and collage, Munroe builds many of her works from layered post-it notes that are painted over to form concentrated colour surfaces. The post-it notes function as a structural foundation, embedding repetition and layering into the painting itself. The result is a practice where surface, material, and motif are closely linked.
