Nogah Engler observes in her oeuvre "the new sublime", which seek to redefine the differences between natural and supernatural. Her new romanticism is a kind of sober, ecological paraphrase on hypnotic landscapes, a paraphrase that evokes feelings of anxiety and dread. Her paintings of snowed-in forests, with their bare, broken tree branches and bleeding animals, conduct an oblique dialogue with the Jewish shtetl and the Holocaust. They harbor the memory of the forests of the Ukraine, where the artist's family members hid out during World War II.
