Monique Leliefeld (1947) is a painter of emotion. She works and reworks her paintings until an essence of emotion is distilled into her forms. Standing in front of her work immediately twangs an emotion in the viewer. Her joie de vivre series evokes an immediate sense of happiness. The emotion in Mysterious Power is not a raw or wild, but subdued strength. Her technique masterfully works in texture and different stratification in all her work. Lovely to behold an envelope a room.
Monique's technique can best be described as abstract, but painted with the precision of a figurative fine-art painter. She started as mainly a figurative painter. Taking inspiration from her Dutch heritage and Dutch Masters. Her own painting style has progressed over the years from figurative to her current abstract paintings. Her Impressions of Tuscany painting is an example of her figurative mastery, whilst Sun and Beach is a combination of her abstract style and figurative style. Many critics believe that to master abstract art; one must first master figurative art. One can not just paint abstract as an artist; one has to slide into it with all together with being aware of the technical formality of the process.
Monique's oeuvre has taken this formal process of transitioning from painstakingly precise figurative art to painstakingly precise abstract art. She works and reworks artworks, and sometimes makes use of mixed media items to strengthen abstract pieces. She is constantly thinking about the use of colour, texture and composition to distil emotions onto canvas. Her style is clean and precise, even abstract or seemingly looser works.
Other exhibition spaces include;
Leliefeld's work has been collected by art collectors in The Netherlands, Singapore, Ivorycoast and Japan.

As 2020 comes to an end, you are invited to read about all that has happened at the gallery internally. Especially as the amount of contact, this last year has been minimal. I also hope this gives artists and curators a look at what we do and how we work. We covered some external highs and lows of the gallery in the previous posts—paintings we had sold, cancelled art fairs, in the fight for democracy and the pandemic. Next week we will elaborate our goals for 2021. Thank you very much for taking the time to get to know what has been going on with us.

Gallery Sorelle Sciarone is an online art gallery. How does that work? Well, the same as all other galleries. We present art or in our case paintings that we admire to collectors. In the form of a websop and at art fairs. As art fairs all over the wolrd become unaccessible, because of the health risk they pose, more of the art world is forced to go online. Our gallery is still young, and as we build our reputation in the art world, the art world is there to help us. Artsy is one of the oldest online platforms for art. For more than 20 years, Artsy has been connecting collectors with art.
Chloe Xu is an artist that has been delightfully describing paintings here at the gallery. She described it as "painting with words". Which is exactly what she does. Her analysis as an artist reads like your painting the painting yourself. She takes a bit of the painting, a bit of the subject, a bit of the technique and bits of real life. I always feel strangely liquid when reading her work. As you will be seeing more of her analysis of art work as well as an online exhibit, we wanted to introduce to her to everyone.
Wouter Maas has recently been working with us at Gallery Sorelle Sciarone. He has beautifully described a few paintings here at the gallery. You will be seeing more of his descriptions the coming time.
Art has been helping us all get through these strange times. Through movies, series, dressing up as famous art or paintings. This is an interview with art influencer Maartje Kramer aka “Kunstmaartje” and how she has been holding her follower's hand through art and museums these last two years.
