Background Black cassette tapes are used in the background in this artwork. In some places you can see a bit of red, yellow or blue in the labels. The use of color has been deliberately kept to a minimum, so that all attention is focused on the painting. At the bottom right, the white tapes have been sprayed with blue spray paint. It brings the painting into contrast with the background. Painting Red and blue colors are leading in the painting. The portrait is made with (mixed) white and black paint. Shadows are used a lot, for example in the bandana, to make it look like fabric. Also in the face there is a clear light, dark contrast. The viewing direction as well as the shadows ensure a penetrating, strong stare. In the lower right corner, dots are placed in pastel colors. Blue paint has been sprayed over it. This gives a special effect to the blue color and prevents it from becoming monotonous. Framing The image area is bordered by a sleek black frame, which provides a modern finish. MIXED MEDIA POP ART COLLECTION SOUNDS This beautiful art collection mainly consists of music related pop art paintings with celebrities/icons. It is decorative art with everyday utensils from the consumer society. The reuse of materials brings the artworks to life. Monique brings her art to life among people. The collection consists of modern paintings with a touch of retro, vintage style. That is what makes these paintings so special. These distinctive contemporary artworks are not only one of a kind, but they also connect the past with the present. It symbolizes the circle of life: Discarded objects get their appreciation again. It's modern art, but it takes you back to the past. The artistic imperfections in the painting give the feeling that the artwork has been alive for years. Every painting in this collection is eccentric. The character of this collection is enhanced by the many uniquely detailed design aspects that differ per painting. How did these mixed media paintings come about? Monique started this collection spontaneously. When she found cassette tapes, she thought it would be a shame to throw them away. There was still too much value in and memories of these beautiful, colorful, nostalgic objects. Monique then decided to turn it into wall art. The cassette tapes were mounted on a wooden plate and then she started painting icons of all times on it. Every artwork from this collection is completely handmade, also the wooden, permanently attached frame. Just enjoy this collection and see the beauty of it!

Monique de Kruijk
Netherlands
Mixed media artist Monique de Kruijk was born on May 19th, 1988 and lives in Breda, the Netherlands. Her home studio is also located in Breda, where her artworks are made. Her collections consist largely of contemporary mixed media artworks, in which different materials and techniques are used interchangeably. She makes modern pop art as well abstract expressionist paintings. For her, both art-movements are characterized by creative freedom and the power of wonder. She works passionately on creating original, unique and powerful images with their own character and emotion. There are particularities in every painting, which continue to attract the eye of the art viewer. All paintings have something special, are unique and an eye-catcher for every room. After the publication of her pop art collection Sounds, it was talked about with much praise, so that interest in her works quickly rose. A passion for music and art has always motivated her in life. These two sources of inspiration come together in her collection Sounds. She calls it "remixing with images", in which she makes derivative works from recognizable images of icons. These paintings are not made on canvas, but on a background of forgotten objects, music tapes. The power of the nostalgic feeling of the tapes in combination with the black and white portrait and use of color gives a beautiful retro look to the wall that you can't get enough of. Working with materials and images started as an experiment, but the enthusiasm to create something new and unique eventually led to her beautiful collection Sounds. Monique also makes contemporary art on canvas. These are colorful pop art paintings, on which mainly women are painted in a powerful way. And besides portraits, she also creates abstract paintings, in which she experiments and plays with complete freedom in a world of colors, movements and rhythms. Every day she makes new discoveries with acrylic and spray paints. New additions and materials are constantly being used to create a colorful, modern painting. These modern, abstract paintings take the viewer into a world of new discoveries. Since childhood, Monique has been experimenting with materials and techniques to create something special. Her creativity always sought a way to that one unique and original image by mixing different media. Over the years she has followed all kinds of painting and sculpture courses to improve herself.
