From SCOTT YOUMANS – 1965

  » Stella Mertens was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1896. Paris, however, has been her home since 1916. She lives there with her husband, also an artist, who is her mentor and severest critic. Over the past thirty years, her paintings have been exhibited in France, the United States, and Denmark.

In facing her easel the greater part of every day – searching, finding, observing, and often starting again, she has developed an idiom both utterly personal and unconventional.

From her studio on the Boulevard Pereire in Paris and from her house in Antibes, flows a succession of dazzling canvases – original, provocative, and radiant. It is remarkable that year after year she is able to maintain this level of creativity and excitement. »
