[Carolin] Cosima Oel has a serious and reflective attitude to art and she always observes life with deep awareness.

[...]
[Carolin] Cosima Oel’s characters emerge from an imaginary world hidden inside her mind without a clear and ordinary way. [...] They are both ephemeral and concrete figures, such as characters coming from a literary tale. They are ironic, and they stare at life without fearing of its grotesque side.

[...]

[Carolin] Cosima Oel’s main feature is an elegant and sober gesture. She is always searching for a gap between the dark and the bright side of life.

[...]

[Carolin] Cosima Oel’s work of art there is both strength and grace, both sympathy and mystery, both an ephemeral and a material side. She is a sophisticated artist, with a mocking twist.
