"Pop Art has been a major influence on the artist's sensibility, with its dedication to examining and even glamorizing consumerism and lavish lifestyles. Her bright, highly stylized illustrations offer views of fantasy and dream-like imagery, in a nod to Surrealism" Tanja Playner participated alongside Ernst Fuchs, Jazz Gitti, Alfons Haider, Christina Stürmer and DJ Ötzi for peace in the project "art in the service of peace" of the Federal Ministry of Defence.
