Momo Luna Signals is the name i use for my art. I am Monica Croese (1959) born in Amersfoort. In the early eighties i followed the School of arts in Arnhem.

As long as i can remember i draw. It is a necessity for me, just like breathing. I am a dreamer and i create magical worlds.
Curator Claar Griffioen wrote about my art:
the artist Monica Croese speaks thru Momo Luna Signals. She tells stories, gives comments, she exposes emotions by means of her very own language. Her art, most of the time small drawings, are clear of colour and form, talk about women, or about how women in general are situated, or how she positions herself.
The weak sex or the primal scream of she who manages all? We see Mother, Lover, Sex object. We see vulnerability and pain, but also keen perception and strength. The woman, in her 'battledress', is ready to go for it. Because the fight still hasn't been fought by far.

Via Momo Luna Signals doet de kunstenaar van zich spreken. Zij vertelt verhalen, geeft commentaar, legt emoties bloot door middel van haar zeer eigen beeldtaal. Haar werk, tekeningen doorgaans klein van formaat, zijn helder van kleur en vorm en gaan over de vrouw of over hoe men haar graag positioneert of hoe ze dat zelf doet.
Het zwakke geslacht of de oerkracht van de alleskunner? We zien Moeder, Minnares, Lustobject. We zien kwetsbaarheid en pijn, maar ook scherpzinnigheid en kracht. De vrouw, in haar ‘gevechtstenue’ staat paraat, want de strijd is nog lang niet gestreden.
