Ryts Monet’s artistic research focuses on the production of images as a means of exploring cultural frictions, monuments, and symbols of power. He is particularly interested in contemporary and late 20th-century history, with a focus on the expansion and crisis of historical ideologies. His practice often incorporates pre-existing materials such as postcards, stamps, banknotes, as well as digital content, newspaper articles, and other found objects.

Enricomaria De Napoli (Ryts Monet), born in Bari in 1982, lives and works in Vienna. He studied at the University IUAV of Venice, where he graduated with a BA in Visual Arts and specialized in Visual Communication through the MA program. In 2022, Ryts Monet became a regular member of the Vienna Secession.
