The Artwork of Esther-Lisette Ganz 

 
The pictures of the artist are easily accessible. The colours invite precisely to the look, that thing is, drawn, the picture elements clearly distinguishable: Figures, pattern on ribbons, signs and symbols, structured surfaces. 
But also an intensive strength is there, flat turmoil, depth, standardizes. Tensions and irritation are in her/it comic-is liable, cheers and funny drawing. Eyes look almost intolerably frankly, shrewd and inquiring. 
The pictures show a world of the artist she/it in her/it themselves lives. Apartment, house and garden of Esther-Lisette Ganz is animals, objects, colours and patterns a place of the strengths and energies, the particular people. The objects of the daily life and everything ornamental one are playfully and persistently shaped with heavenly security to a total. The pictures this there originates, is only an element of it. 

What is the reality if this itself is a picture? How can a picture portray the objects of a reality if it itself is a part of it? What is part and something this the total? 
Is it pictures of the peace or the fear? Are the bare little line human being with her/its/their stepping out gestures secure or depraved, from the downfall threatens or carries from strengths? 
Every picture is a portrait in the certain sense. But portraits from what? What is a human being? There, there is also mixed creatures, human shapes with one or three arms, to suns with limbs like plants and animals, moons with soulful gaze. 
Maybe the eyes are the most important. The reciprocal gaze line of us to them and back a direct track forms in the middle of every picture in. Feelings, which we read in the gazes of the figures, are our own experiencing of the pictures. 
But actually however it are not portraits, because the figures don't stand in the foreground but is only a picture element under other picture elements, part of a bigger total, that would not be complete without her/it/them, however, in which they don't dominate. 
Entranced through the diverse ones, on simple forms built patterns of the surfaces, which structure the area. It is not exaggerated to claim that the same, which tries to testify the science in her/its/their most current theories today, shows these: that all has form, rhythm, harmony, or is, also the "empty" area, that that is not emptiness empty. 
With the newer works, a worldview, that assumes it, becomes ever clearer in fascinating way that actually it none "interior" things and no "outside" gives, probably however all passing through formation. That between "objects" and "area". Between animate and matter, a deep unit exists.
