"Greed", from the series: 7 Sins. In this series I always felt within myself first before looking for references in contemporary art and arthistory. I found that greediness is not only wanting to have a lot, but wanting to have more than the other(s). This "more" could consist of tangible as well as non tangible things. In my visual vocabulary hair is a metaphor for "things that come out of your head" (ideas, judgments, plans, thoughts, visions etcetc). The parallels fit perfect: it's hard to grab, hold on to and they spill from all sides. So here is this figure that has so much of it, that she is not even able to handle it all, yet the eye doesn't invite the public to share the knowledge. It is wary of being stolen from, whilst the strings dangle around the hands and escape the clenched fist. In this work you see my enjoyment of painting twirling lines and curves, which are largely enhanced by clean outlines. At the same time there is still the pop-art switching of "reality" within the colors that are out of sync with reality, yet the eye of the beholder accepts these colors as normal.. As always, my canvases are painted on the sides as well, so you are able to hang it the moment you've unpacked it as no frame is really needed. Thank you for your support!!!!

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.
