(...) The works of Tjaarke Maas are of the highest order and are linked, in a contemporary manner, to the great Flemish artists of the past. Some of the portraits, hollow and tormented, are especially striking, a renewed form of an ancient language. .... I would like to salute the memory of Tjaarke Maas, who lives on in her fine work "
