« Based on the formal gesture of the concrete color stroke, I design portraits and scenes that, in different contexts, take the narrative account into account. »
Esslinger was at the beginning of her artistic career with textile, before she turned to painting. Her many travels and residency stays worldwide influence the cultural and sociopolitical issues that Esslinger deals with in her art. She also works with cardboard collages that critically question consumption.
