Artistically, Kerstin Schmitt deals, among other things, with questions about human identity in the digital age and in the consumer world. Her painterly work is characterized by ironic allusions and encodings, which extend to playful work titles. The artist's overstimulated inner world is bathed in glaring colors. The application of paint includes translucent acrylic painting as well as impasto oil paints. Different painting styles appear to be put together like a collage, making the subjects look like surreal set pieces of thought. Bathers and mermaids and mermaids, reminiscent of mythologies and fairy tales, form recurring motifs.

In addition to painting, art actions, which she documented with film and photography, play an essential role. In 2019 she uttered the phrase "All is art".
