"It´s my whole world - it´s all I know" was Helga Kreuzritter´s response when asked what motivates her to create works of art. Whatever subject she choses, she observes, describes, reflects and comments: human and all too human behaviour, man´s impotence, living in tune with nature, nature and landscape, people and technology, time and transience, global developments and problems. She takes a pronounced view on it all - often interspersed with irony.

For Helga Kreuzritter, art is not simply about diffuse vagueness or pleasant academic exercises. She is not afraid to use her art to call problems by their name. Yet even when dealing with very serious subjects she manages, through her humor and wit, to bring a pensive smile or heartfelt laugh to her audience. - Going hand-in-hand with this unusual breadth and depth of subject-matter is an equally unusual breadth of artistic techniques. Aaron DeLand, a New York-based art critic, comments: "...The choice of technique and materials depends entirely on the particular subject to be conveyed. Kreuzritter flows easily from two-dimensional to three-dimensional works, drawing, sculpting wood, painting or assembling found objects...".
