This is actually a collector's piece, for it's one of the very, very, very first "Beauties" that I've made. And believe it or not.... it's a selfportrait. A very rough one. I enjoyed fractionating all the colors I saw in the image of my skin, and played around with keeping "open" spaces instead of filling the whole face up. The white drippings you see on the photo is a synthetic enamel that I've dripped on top of the acrylic paint, much like Jackson Pollock did, but in a slightly more figurative way. Quite an experimental work for people who like strong, powerful images! The work is signed by me on the back, together with the title and the year of making. Thank you for connecting to my art and giving it a place in your life!

My name is Monique van Steen and I am dutch artist who lives and works in the beautiful city Barcelona. In my early 20's I fell in love with the Spanish life-style. 
The passionate form of living life captivated my heart, yet it was foremost the mediterranean light that seduced me. 
This light enhances all the worldy colors and this inspires me to paint with the vibrant colors my artworks are now known for. The ever moving inner feminine world is what fascinates me as an artist. I portray strong women, 
 strong in their fierceness, strong in their hopes,
yet also strong in their sensuality, in their vulnerabilities and doubts… yet always theirselves.
 My style is aligned with that, 
I speak in a visual language that is easily understood: Urban pop art. 
 The flowing outlines speak a clear message and the vibrant colors add intensity to the personality of the depicted feelings.

 The Modernist era, ever so present in Barcelona with the recurring natural and female features in the architecture and urban furniture are a traceable influence in my art, 
enchanting your eyes and your heart.
