Yvonne van Eijden, Oisterwijk 1956, moved to Cincinnati, Ohio-USA in 2000.
Although she spoke English, it was and is not her native language, even though she is now an American citizen. In her new social environment she was confronted with the well-known American "melting pot" and the great diversity in cultural background that goes with it. The contact within this new social structure formed the inspiration for this painting.
In her work you can often see texts or words. That was already the case in the Netherlands, that has remained the case in the USA. However, since her landing in the USA she tends to work more figuratively, just look at this painting.
Her work has been purchased by leading collectors, companies and museums.
