Detailed description
Picture "Ranunculus in overlay vase" (2008)
The flower arrangements, which the painter likes to call "autobiographical," have a cool, distant and at the same time beguilingly sensual effect on the viewer. These are not snapshots, but rather temporally condensed and spatially removed subjects that tell of blossoming and wilting. With her still lifes, the artist perhaps ties in with the Baroque vanitas symbolism she favors, which revolves around beauty, vanity, and their transience. But also the hermetic pictorial inventions of Magic Realism have left a deep impression on the painter, when one should definitely look for a suitable drawer in the great closet of the history of style.
