In this blue, turquoise and teal toned artwork we see a sensual feminine torso.
It's painted in a surrealist style that pops out of a rather more rough, almost abstract background.
The typical strong, illustrative outlines which van Steen uses in her art allows this juxtaposition of these opposite styles, creating a never ending journey on the canvas for the eye of the spectator.
The image shows a portrait of young woman that seems fascinated by something
what she hears or in a far distance, or deep inside.
The artist says about this piece that it's about following intuition. Ignoring the reasoning of the mind.
Monique van Steen's art celebrates the female universe in all it's deepness and swing and often her visual inspiration comes from the art nouveau era.
The flanks of this painting are painted along, so it looks finished and crisp from all side.
