About

Berlin Boudoir (Monika Kozub, she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersections of beauty, nature, and sexuality as radical tools for empowerment. Rooted in photography but expanding into installation, sculpture, drawing, and participatory art, her practice challenges stereotypes around womanhood and the body. Blending intimacy with social commentary, Berlin Boudoir creates immersive, often collaborative experiences that invite reflection, play, and connection. Her work celebrates the raw, unfiltered presence of bodies — especially those of women and FLINTA — while pushing against the limits of traditional representation in art and media.
