About The Artwork
In the series of small works on wood I make my statement less dubious, more strait forward about the social pressure I feel on having to be beautiful and the fake promises we get from the general media. In this little work on wood I pictured a to-beautiful-to-be-true girls head with running mascara. Even-though her amazing beauty, this persona is crying. Sad because even with all her efforts and make-up, she STILL doesn't feel happy about herself. 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... Why is there so much emphasis put on female's beauty during this last hundred years? There must be a good reason for this!

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.
