Raphael: 'The School of Athens' (2000)

".............Regarding trends and current art movements, she is " eccentric " , that is : distant from the apparent centre. It can be said that in her art-work she is breaking a lance for the restoration of tradition, and prepares a turn-about that could result in a changing of the art-scene. Her brilliant canvases meanwhile show us a world full of light and colour in which we can continue the conversation with Petrarca , Dante , Castiglione and other testators of Western-European culture which has not lost any of its vitality but stands open to the future ......."
