Monique Lassooji will be represented
by Rolando Chang Barrero Fine Art.
"My
vision is to maintain the integrity of my art while deleting as much
superfluous detail as possible. Telling all of the story can be fun, but most
of the time it is just distracting. I hone in to the details that inspire me to
create" -ML

Monique
Lassooij was born and raised in The Netherlands and moved several years ago to
Miami, Florida. Her paintings hang in numerous private collections in the US
and abroad.
In The Netherlands Ms. Lassooij started out as an abstract painter but over the years she developed a passion for figurative painting. After having studied with Dutch artists such as Pien Hazenberg and Henk Hubenet, she attended the Royal Academy for Fine Arts in The Hague and has gone on to receive several commissions and can be found in public places such as the Town Hall of the city of Scheveningen in The Netherlands.
"My work explores the paradox in modern pop culture and society, sometimes clearly visible and sometimes through an underlining dichotomy interjected with humor."
Ms. Lassooij finds her inspiration in colors and how those colors affect the subject whether she is painting on canvas, wood or a wall. Her subjects are often not placed within a context-giving background, allowing a single or combination of colors and geometric shapes to illuminate the chosen topic.
