Regardless of types of techniques, the underlying goal of the monumental art is to create a compositional unity between the work of art and environment. Sculptures or monumental paintings are often directly integrated into architectural ensembles. From the point of view of suggestive message they transpose, monumental art works may be divided into various genres and types: they may have funerary and commemorative character or have a decorative or cognitive importance or even mark out the most important historic events. What is characteristic for all these works is "monumentality", a notion, which is defined in the specialized art dictionaries as the "quality of impressing a spectator by force, grandeur or mass of fine or decorative work of art.
The monumental art includes a variety of genres, types and species. Thus, only in the Republic of Moldova the following genres have been developed in:
Monumental sculpture
- Monumental compositions with many figures;
- Statues, including equestrian ones;
- Busts;
- Various types of relief works: starting with prominent flattened alto-relievos and ending with the ones executed in "en-creux" techniques;
- Sculptural and architectural ensembles, etc
Monumental painting
- Fresco;
- Mosaic;
- Mural painting, executed in "secco" or "tempera" techniques;
- Decorative panel executed in mixed technique;
- Decorative or figurative panel executed in burned and enameled ceramics;
- Stained glass-windows.
