Her pictures often show enigmatic scenes in which people appear faceless but still have an identity. They are in dialogue with other people, through their movements or through merging with the crowd. Through her special painting technique, Petra Gabriele Dannehl manages to distract the viewer from his previous understanding of the image in order to arrive at new associations.

The characters in Petra Gabriele Dannehl's work move in an intermediate realm between reality and dream. Associations from the dream world find their equivalent in the shadowy design. The blurring of the picture effect, out of which fictional landscapes grow, appears in all pictures as a design principle and contrasts with the realistically painted figure. Pasted photocopies irritate familiar ways of seeing and play with the concept of image and image. The use of writing as an optical gesture interweaves the representation and background with a gestural painting structure. The person in the artist's work can explicitly become the subject or indirectly leave his mark.
