Press Release

“Her paintings show something that is actually astonishing - but we don't see the astonishing. The animals in their poses, not motifs, not simply acting figures in an artistically designed pictorial space, no, they are real protagonists of a world that could hardly be more naturally connected to them. The birds that have not even taken possession of the room and its objects, but rather manage everything like a very own kingdom...that may still offer them surprises. We see a kind of inner truth, as if behind the scenes. And it's just amazing that someone can not only find that, but also show it to others in paintings. And the more deeply we become familiar with some of these works, the more we are moved by the idea that we ourselves and what surrounds us today remains unnoticed behind the backdrop, whereas the images present the celebration of the real. This artistic capture isn’t based on sophisticated cleverness, here a soul disbosoms itself in its own way. We like to collect the benefit from this with our eyes, because it is love and it is kindness.” Text by the painter Martin Stommel)
