"Fully harmonic and cheerfulness paints", Thurgauer Zeitung, 02.12.2006 (PDF)
Patricia Engeler calls her window-pictures which give views
over seas, fields or mountains, "overviews". Although
some of her works show many fragmented lookouts with
different point of views, they joint themselves to a
harmonic panorama. "The emphasis on my paining
style are in the harmony of the colors and forms",
said the artist. "Painting do to her soul well".
"Things of the hearth: Painting"
"Pure pleasure in Painting" Her main theme is water.
Something from everyday and completely banal,
which can be represented in different styles,
like for example naturalistic or abstract.
"When painting we can express our joy of life or
any other emotion"."A constant line is very important,
each begun picture will be finished sooner or later,
even if it can take months."

"Expressing feelings through paintings"
This way Patricia Engeler expresses her feelings on generously arranged oil paintings.
Under the motto IBIZA, she shaped paintings using strong colors to revel her significant work,
focused on the essentials". Through my paintings, I would like to express the meaning of the to-be,
which I see with my eyes, and which I feel in my heart" she said. This way she weaves her feelings
and observationsto an enjoyable and absolute picture.
Ibiza has a magical touch.
The small Balearic Islands
has a completely own character and charm. The
blue sea, the red earth,
rock coasts, innumerable small bays, smelling pine forests, snow-white houses and the calmness of their inhabitants. The seawater
and the excellent weather
will give us an unforgettable experience .Nobody can
easily elude from the
charm of the Island.

"See and listen: In just a minute, one can experience a lot"
This was the way how she created one of her large nature paintings.
Produced whilelistening to music, nearby the river along the Thurweg."
"Patricia Engeler predominantly works with the subject matter water.
She wants to pass on her positive way of life to the viewer. Besides
her object painting she goes one step beyond towards subtractions
from naturalism, by translating her water landscapes to elemental
colors of work of art"

"Messages of her inner satisfaction", Thurgauer Zeitung (PDF)
"Water is always moving and therefore so fascinating.
Therefore she deals with the element water and her
paintings are exposed to this vast topic area.
The wind sways the reeds into the water; water
creeks run down the mountains, houses are reflected
on the lake waters as small swabs of colors or waves
striking to the lonely coast. Meaningful oil paintings from
Patricia Engeler are full of harmony and irradiate
pleasant peace.
"Maya Heizmann, Thurgauer Zeitung / November 2002

"Sehnsucht nach dem Amazonas", Thurgauer Tagblatt (PDF)
"A rich Fantasy and an unrestrained urge to pictorial
expression, is what can be expected by a visitor of
Patricia Engeler's oil paintings from Kefikon"...
"Engeler`s work breathe southern nostalgia.
Impressive water studies show movement, vortex,
reflection and light with much energy and the enthusiasm
that resulted in discovering new styles for herself and
which will continue to discover new ones."...
