Marie-helene Stokkink
 
 
About the Artist

In France for 10 years now, Marie-Helene paints animals, Her intensity of passion is really bigger than it was in Holland. Its not only the animal she represents by art on paper, her pleasure is to translate their behaviour in their environnement, the mouvements, their sign language,hastiness, their pure beauty,the poses comical. Their likeness with the human appears in her sketches, this excercise its the inspiration, which is the emotion and the fascination for her.
The places of ‘the point of views’ of short sketches can be in her own garden with her animals, and in the zoo’s, and other unexpected magic moments, without forgetting the moments where cats and dogs are lascivious posing for the sketches in the house. her equipment is : paper, waterpaint, ink, parafine, bister, pen , bambou and pencils.
