Drawing, Graphite on Aluminium

The drawing is made on paper, the paper is glued on aluminium with a 2 cm profile behind it. I want to combine the dry fragility and pureness of the drawing line with the caracter of the liquidness of watercolor. Tempera gives me the possibillity to draw with colourfull paint. In this artwork the person you see finds peace of mind in nature. She trusts the place where she hides in the tree and closes her eyes. Nothing but the silence of nature and the warmth of the materials she wraps around herself. People inspire me, I study their moves, their doing nothing and make sketches of them. Nature also inspires me: its space, its structures, trees and animals. My people find themselves in my invented landscapes. I hope that others will feel good seeing my drawings and paintings.

Monique van Stokkum (1952) is a Dutch artist. Currently she makes drawings. THE DELICATE LINE Since 2015 I make drawings again. In the beginning of my artist careeer I started with drawing (ca. 1975), then a period of painting followed . And now I'm back to my old love. The directness, grim, tenderness and strength of the drawing. THEME Of course I am touched by what is happening in the world. In my work I do not react literally on the world news. Yet it is about universal themes in which people can recognize themselves. The viewer looks for elements of life. My work gets meaning through their associations and fantasies. Landscapes, animals and people are my sources of inspiration. Not strange for someone who is born and raised in the woods. I can now say that the death of my son (2005) brought about major changes in my work. Now, after more than 10 years, I feel the space again which was not there for a long time. Since 2013 I make my Objects to Remember. Large and small painted objects in wich memories may be stored. Works of art with an extra personal significance.
