As an artist, she complements the well-known spectrum the monochrome with new facets. She deals in particular with the aesthetic, psychological and philosophical meaning of colours. So, each painting becomes an experiment, to show what pure painting is capable today: visual poetry that can be experienced.

The more intensely sb. deals with one of these paintings, the stronger the existing inner dimensions become noticeable.
With such paintings, she also enables to be given new tension to a room. Looking her works of art, it will notice a virtuoso surface design that is of immaculate purity.
