YVONNE MICHIELS
Art has always been an essential part of Yvonne Michiels. Born in Eindhoven, in
1966, Yvonne, starting with drawings on paper, she developed as a multi-disciplinary
artist whose works also included acryl on canvas, mixed media, wooden sculptures,
and photography art.
Yvonne Michiels’s photo art has been exhibited all around the world, including
London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milaan, New York, Miami and Instanbul. Last
year she was invited to the King Women Exhibition at the Pen And Brush Gallery in
New York City.
Yvonne Michiels tells personal stories about vulnerability, beauty, emotions and
mortality. She uses topical examples from modern society. This results in aesthetic,
innovative portraits that are not only fascinating, but often also moving. Her works are
characterised by the unusual techniques that she uses. As a result, they are
surprising, continually revealing new dimensions and bearing a highly personal
signature.
City Lights
Yvonne Michiels portrays highly fashion-conscious women who view the world with a
confident eye. These women comply with the dominant ideal of beauty achievable
through make-up, fashion and plastic surgery. They therefore look perfect. But
appearances can be deceiving. The perfect facades conceal feelings of insecurity,
despair and vulnerability. These women are struggling increasingly with the threats of
a big world which which is projected in the afro hair; the symbol of freedom.
The observer is directly affected by the strong emotional charge of the pictures.
Fading_Flowers
Who can turn away from Yvonne Michiels photograph of a quietly impressive and
confident young woman with a halo of painted flowers taken from a classic old
painting and digitally composed on her head while stunning blue glossy lips draw us
to her sensuality and uniqueness? That nimbus is not there for an inconsequential
reason, the halo of flowers from the cracking old painting speak of her old soul and
her weathered life, but the models’ beauty is in fragile bloom. According to Michiels,
in the fading-series,” the short life of flowers reflects the short life of mankind. She
incorporates the flowers of the old masters in the modern portrait. Again vulnerability
as a major theme.
