Bernardien Sternheim’s paintings are very personal to her. The people in them are often family, friends and herself.

With its sharp lines and dark colours, Sternheim’s realistic painting style is intense. The high contrast between light and dark reveals her admiration of Magic Realist Pyke Koch (1901-1991). In Choir, Sternheim peers at us from the front row.
