Welcome to the website of Monique van Steen.

Nederlands Castellano

On this page you are invited to flip trough the virtual fine arts galleries of this young, upcoming artist.

Here you will find the paintings and drawings of this Dutch (but Barcelona based) artist.
Her start as a ceramist artist has developed her tremendous sensibility to materials, still noticable troughout her stage as a drawer and painter.
Yet, the ceramic limits were too narrow to contain her needs of expression. Ever since her very childhood she drew.
But the needs grew stronger, the need for colour combined made the step to work the canvas an obvious one.

Still visible on this web are her drawings, but the emphasis is now on the paintings.

ENJOY!

Also you can see her artistic nudity drawings after life model, some of which are merely sketches, but with a spontaneity and security that reminds above all about her 'imaginary' works, others are conceived in a rather more studious character.
All of them worth a moment of contemplation!
