About The Artwork
"Mathide" is one of the 3 daughters of empress Theophanu. My home town is well know as the oldest city in The Netherlands. Charlemagne and Roman Emperor Trajanus have visited and lived here. This place was then know as a "Palt". From a feministic point of view, I felt inclined to bring also an Empress "In The Spot Light" I hope that the City of Nijmegen will finally appreciate her. And commission me! Marthide her mother was called Theophanu. She was a mother of 5 kids, and an artistic and sophisticated person. She died when she was only 31. I have totally painted 20 works, in which Mathilde her sisters,Adelheid and Sophia are also portrayed. I hope to show you these as well, if you like.I have done extensive art research after I had found out that the place where I used to play as a little girl, an empress had lived and ruled.She had died on my Birthday. I felt a calling. Theophanu her empire was then called the "Ottan Empire" in the year 1000.This empire was founded to bring the good of Christianity and its morals. The empire stretched from Constantinopel to The Netherlands. Nothing about this woman was ever really recorded in history. I lived in Holland, Nijmegen. Thank you

Artist statement It became important to me in my twenties to explore different media – video animation, all paints, spray paints, mixed media, wood, and collage. During the mid eighties I became involved in the squatting movement in Amsterdam. I joined creative activists looking to improve housing conditions and domestic environments by painting frescoes and murals. Many images from this time can be seen in suburban photographic archives in the libraries and the Register building. To me all Arts is about Communication and Invention. I was born into a family of artists; most notable was Dutch sculptor Nico Onkenhout. My mother wrote poetry, and her dad was a Sunday painter. I am known for my use of Mixed Media work. I like to work within a theme, and make several artworks about a particular subject-In oils and Acrylics. And yes, I love to Draw… Life model drawing, any free drawing in graphite or Posco pen- inks and charcoal.
