"Kneffel, who studied philosophy before emerging as a painter, uses realism to examine her own memories and recollections. 'Art is a lie in a certain sense,' she says. 'And that is why it can tell the truth to the reality of everyday life without competing with it. The reality of painting is one reality, the reality of everyday life is another.'"
