Toni Mauersberg is interested in how a painted image speaks on different levels of interpretation at the same time:
First by what is simply on it, then its anchoring in larger pictorial tradition, and the conditions of its creation. Using various painterly strategies and techniques, she aims to uncover the paintings' potential - as a medium of understanding, recognition, and narrative. At its core, she is concerned with the question of how it is possible to be one's own person in a post-religious, post-rational, and post-individual age.

In her current series, Pas de Deux, she explores the legibility of abstract painting as a complex visual language whose origins also lie in the search for new ways of representing spirituality and liberation. Her combination of non-representational paintings with portraits brings both their being "made" out of mere color into view and at the same time expands their interpretive possibilities. The dialogue between the paintings is intended to open up its own ways of deciphering seemingly hidden rules within images in a new way.
