In 2009 I was inspired by Africa. Its colors, the landscape, the people. I found a photobook that became a source of creation to me. A photo of woman and man collecting salt was the inspiration for this painting. The beauty of the colors of the dark bodies and the colors of their clothes against the white salt are in great contrast with the heavy work they do. To imagine the salt I used hand made paper made of the (clean) inside of the dipers of my children. Together with the oil paint it gives such a nice structure. It has a natural wooden frame, ready to hang. Handed with a certificate of authenticity, handsigned by me.

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.
