„ The art of Eliza is of a very intimate yet at the same time distanced kind. The paintings take their inspirations from old tales, myths, events and emotions Eliza has experienced in her own life. In a narrative way, the images appear only faintly, thus leaving an impression of something either strange or well known, touching on our inner strings. A glimpse, an unfinished poem, a sequence of dream, perhaps? The intense, mostly warm colours and the earthy surface add to a sensual quality, the themes respond to a poetic reflection of psychic and emotional sensations. All these have their source in the observant as well as imaginative personality of this individual Austrian artist.”
