style
Scholler's art is in the tradition of classical modernism. The style of her works is reminiscent of artists such as Paul Cézanne and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner . The strong focus on color in her pictures is the determining factor in her work. The spontaneity of the artistic implementation as well as the clarity and luminosity of her color spectrum give her watercolors and oil paintings an almost Mediterranean serenity and let the rigor of a well-considered composition fade into the background.
