This pop art portrait of a girl with her golden hair blowing in the wind is made on brown craft paper. Usually my artwork have deep evocative meanings, offering a mirror of feelings to the person that watches it. Yet this painting (and her sister as well) was born out of my need to make something beautiful that included gold leaf. This is a super thin layer of combined metals that can be fixed to a surface and will add an incredible shininess to it that totally outstands the rest of the colors. Many religious images have been made with it, for it almost feels like something out of this planet. I had wanted to use this material for a long time already, yet as it was going to be my first time, I never dared to take the step on a painting that was already very good on it's realization. So I had to create something on purpose. Something that would allow me to test the material, and on the same time, would make me feel in awe because of it's beauty. (I still try to impress myself with every artwork... does this sound weird¿?) Both Goldilocks 1 and 2 are made on paper of 21 x 28 cm, that's 8,2 x 11 inces, with a space around the image so it's easy to mat ( = get a passapartout around) it. Which makes it easy to get a fitting frame around it. I would be very happy if they would go together to a new house, so there is room for discussing a discount when you buy both of them. They are signed with that little symbol that represents the first letters of my name and on the back you will find the full signature, year of making and the title. I will send it in an unbendable envelope so that it will arrive to you in perfect state. I've made a video presentation of both portraits, you can find them on my Monique van Steen profile on Vimeo. I truly appreciate any form of supporting my art, be it by purchasing or sharing with friends or social media!

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.
