Yvonne Michiels''Aafke'' Contemporary Dutch Portrait of a Girl, Mixed Media Painting2023
2023
About the Item
In her art, Dutch photographer Yvonne Michiels (1966) depicts personal stories about beauty, emotions and mortality.
In order to heighten the emotional charge of her pictures, Yvonne often uses young models. Their honest innocence and insecurity underscore the major theme of vulnerability in Yvonne’s work.
Her models are young and fresh faced. As they pose for Yvonne’s camera, she tries to capture not only their strength but their vulnerability as well. Those lovely girls and boys are in the height of their beauty, but that too is fleeting.
Yvonne uses topical examples from modern society. This results in aesthetic, innovative portraits that are not only fascinating, but also moving. Her technique allows her to imbue her portraits with multiple layers of meaning. Thus, the viewer is continually challenged to look further, to uncover the dimensions hidden in the work.
In her new series called “I am a masterpiece” Yvonne shows the vulnerability and beauty of every individual. At a time when insecurity is amplified by social media, she invites the viewer to see the beauty in the imperfections, origins, orientation, etc. and to admire the works of art that we all carry within. In a society where the pressure to be perfect can often be overwhelming, Yvonne believes we are all masterpieces.
''Aafke'' is created from several photographs combined printed on a large canvas. Using oil and acrylic paint, she makes each work unique and gives the canvases the look of old masterpieces with a modern twist.
