As with the Aztecs who believed in dualism, she uses contrasting elements which eventually come to balance and harmony. Her artworks show a prominent harmonious composition, symbolisms and figures that add a dimension of mystery to the pictorial narrative, yet are full the senses and share meticulous aesthetics.
The colors, lines and forms are a continual challenge that leads her to constantly experiment with new styles, from figurative to abstraction, she introduces the viewer to originality and creativity of her own vision.
Rather than the often conventional subject matter, Clari Netzer's art expresses much more than literal representation: the colors, the movement and sometimes the contradictory compositions bring forth the power of the painting
