In fact, an artist who works under a pseudonym Mijn Schatje, name Marie blanco hendrickx … But for me personally, reading her fictitious name, I want to pronounce it as "happiness." Well, very similar, after all! However, it is worth looking at the drawings that Maria creates, how to rejoice and smile right away, they are so sad, even melancholic. Although incredibly beautiful and bright … Mijn Schatje lives and works in France, doing digital art, but instead of portraits of living people, she paints portraits of dolls. You probably know that almost-realistic dolls with porcelain faces and huge shining eyes are in fashion nowadays. It is they who become the models for the young artist.
Unlike puppeteers, the artist has much more power over her creations. So, she can do anything with the drawn dolls: turn them into sea mermaids or forest fairies, make them cry or laugh, be sad or have fun. But more often, as we have already said, her dolls are sad and sad …
If you also like the light sadness of the painted toys, you can share it on the personal website of the artist Mijn Schatje in the online gallery.
