Work

In her narrative, figurative work the artists concerns with the position of women in the community (society). She challenges the validation of the role models of men and women in the past and today. Because her bodies seem to be transparent, Schettina is called the painter with the glassy hand. Her work is influenced by Pop-Art. Her Painting "Orange Dress", which shows a self-confident, modern woman, was 2009 shown on the poster of the exhibition "City. Country. Woman." in Museum of the City Krems, Austria.
From 2008 on Schettina deals with mathemetical themes, which she transforms to paintings.
In December 2009 the book „Mathemagische Bilder“ containing paintings and essays was published in Vienna.
