Graff Gressel's works move between painting in color and line drawings that combine the figurative and abstract, dealing primarily with the human body. The works include the use of a diversity of materials. The pieces are lyrical, characterized by their minimalism portraying intimacy.The main narratives motivating her works deal with women themes, gender boundaries and the perception of the body in society today. Her works reflect research of the boundaries between Inside and Outside as well as transparency/exposure as opposed to covering/concealing, both thematically and material wise.
