She belongs to the youngest generation of the Austrian art scene and deals with studies of human coexistence in her works. With the help of the ironic shift and numerous allusions to music, film, literature and art, she breaks numerous taboos . Assaults, painful injuries and erotic allusions are the order of the day in her pictures. The result is people whose stories seem ambiguous and unclear. The technology of their painting equipment, through which monochrome, very striking scenes are created, makes these mostly difficult topics airy and transparent and constantly challenges your own perception.

Exhibitions

In addition to numerous presentations, it has also won a number of prizes, has already been on eleven shortlists for art prizes and has found its way into some well-known collections.
