The art from Tina Reaper-Schneider is a forging of the two styles expressionism and tachisme.

Her style is for the most part abstract. Corresponding to the titles however, there is also a figurative level.

The often cursory brush-strokes depict the "fast-lane" lifesytle and the fractive cognition which
characterise our present world.

Abstraktina's technique is individual, layering generous amounts of bold colours of paint repeatedly.
This doesn't just lend the art-work a strongly expressive effect but also an idiosynchratic,
aestheticially pleasing sequence.
