Text written by GHA
Her portraits captivate with their dramatic use of color and contrast. The protagonists are often captured in cool tones and stand out against a deep, almost black background.
The composition is kept simple.
The realistic depiction of the figure’s pose is tense, but the intensity of the colour tones suggests a slight movement to be expected. The figures are depicted in a state of bewilderment. From their facial expressions, a feeling of astonishment can be deduced, which seems to merge into a state of sadness or melancholy. The viewer is seduced into reading a narrative from the facial expression. An intimate connection can develop between the viewer and the person depicted, both of whom become an integral part of the narrative.
