in rijnhout's work abstraction is dominant: color and structure. her paintings are cut-outs from a universe; each of them separately valid and yet part of a complex entity of randomly generated, almost limitless possibilities. she prefers clear colors and a hardedge confrontation of lines and shapes. however, when she uses words in her paintings, these are hardly readable. their meaning seems to be more an inspirational starting point than her wish to chalenge the observer to find out.

"far from the wilderness of nature, my life takes place in the artificial habitat of the metropolis. the space surrounding me is completely man-made; my movements are determined by structures laid out and organised to make large-scale forces function. order and planning are carried through to the extreme, and manifest themselves as much in megaconstructions, as in small scale facilities. branching interminably, its interrelating parts become entangled in a spontaneous and uncontrolled way, functioning as self-organising life-forms.

it is my perception, that these surroundings have developed into an artificial variation on nature. the two-dimensional images i create, mirror phenomena like these; each of my images tries to recreate reality."
