About The Artwork

This little work on wood is giving a wink at the modern "selfies" time. On how us girls do ridiculous things to be seen as beautiful. The book "the beauty myth" was a big eye-opener to me. Lots of things my intuition somehow flagged before, but I could never really put my finger on... Self-made-girl (as opposed to a self made man) makes sure she will stay/become beautiful thus be "successful" and adored. ¿Don't we all want to be loved?

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.
