Roos Mannaerts’ work exhibits in its kinship with the Greco-Roman tradition, a way of working that refers to such sculptural forms where reality fuses with the imagination.

She returns to a harmony of lines and forms. Forms that these Mediterranean civilizations have always advocated; a return to intimacy.

The search for simplicity results in plastic heads or figures that remain stylistically elegant. A great deal of variety is also sought in her variety of patina. Each sculpture receives a separate treatment from the patinator.

Her free portraits gaze with infinity and display a poetically rich directness.

A touch of fantasy also characterizes her entire oeuvre.
