Anyone who appreciates the allegorical layers of a fairy tales will be fascinated by the image worlds captured with acrylic paint on glass by the artist Cornelia Renz. One initially has the impression of facing the creation of a colourful world of fairy tales or comics, but when taking a closer look, the details and figures give rise to ambiguous stories in which nothing is really the way it appears.
