Yet, the realistic component in her paintings is but a mere quotation, only one of numerous elements applied to create the tension which exists between opposites. The straight, the round, the angular are brought into a relationship and so are the colours yellow, red, green and blue as well as the soft and hard, the transparent and opaque, animate and inanimate objects … Since their vicinity is calculated in an almost mathematical precision, the artist creates an appealing co-existence of realism and abstraction.
