My work wants to communicate, stimulate reflection, arouse emotions, shake up and move. They do not convey accessible image solutions, but leave behind signs, traces and forms that indicate an invisible reality,
but give viewers a lot of freedom to interpret. Above all, it is about creating an optical and emotional dialogue between the viewer in the image. My paintings should create high-contrast views and put contemporary thoughts in exciting perspectives. Painting is for me a source of energy, equalization and necessity.

„In addition to kinships to lyrical abstraction and abstract expressionism, paintings of Edith Boge also contain surrealistic elements, echos of the species brood, graffiti-like scriptural parts and an impetuous intensity, an excitement and a courage to take risks" (Michael Nungesser, Berlin - Art Historien)
