Original artwork description:

Illustrative, stylized portrait on paper of a lady's face who's hair is blowing freely in the wind.

For over a longer period of time, Van Steen is fascinated by the fibonacci-sequence that not only comes back over and over again in nature, yet also in the human body.
In this painting she deliberately uses this golden ratio in the curling hair of her portraits.

This drawing is part of an ongoing series that is made on brown craft paper,
where all portraits are boxed in an unfinished square,
as if they are invited to wonder off into the world.
For this artist "hair" is the metaphor for everyting that happens in the head,
they are the ideas, beliefs, fantasies and proyections.
This is why it has such a prominent presence in van Steen's visual world.

The painting is marked with an anagram on the front and on the back you will find a bigger artist's signature, the title and the year of making.
You will also get a certificate of authenticity with this work.

These artworks have space around the drawing, so it's easy to mat ( = get a passepartout around) it.
Which makes it easy to get a perfectly fitting frame for it that will integrate with your decor.
