Nowadays:
Lives and works in Amsterdam
Themes and style:
She’s been developing her style through the
years:
A series of
paintings she executed in the mid-1980s, titled "The Eyes of the Night Creatures",
explores recurring themes in the artist's oeuvre, including racial and ethical
intolerance.
In the late 1980s
and early 1990s, Dumas produced a series of works based around the subject of
pregnancy and babies.
Between 1998
through 2000, in collaboration with the photographer Anton Corbijn, she worked
on a project called "Stripping Girls", which took the strip clubs and
peep shows of Amsterdam as their subject
According to Dumas,
the series is to "contribute to a mentality change" in Russia at a time
of increasingly anti-gay legislation in the country.
Techniques:
She used to work on paintings,
collages, drawings, prints and installations. Although now she now works mainly
with oil on canvas and ink on paper

In his own words:
“Not that everything you make is a
masterpiece,” she says, “but if you haven’t achieved anything that is worth
remembering… That’s why when people say 'MoMA’ this or 'auction’ that…” She
shakes her head. “You want to achieve something that you yourself also think is
not too bad.”
