Roos’ realistic sculptures of human beings are based on people she has met. Their appearrance or behaviour is the base of her work. The sculptures are no reproduction but an impression. Her work arose from collecting stories and images, which can be both current and historical. By combining this data, an image is created. The images have a body language and a facial expression that is recognizable but that may not be directly identifiable. The posture and expression of the images establish communication with the viewer, even hidden feelings are shared in this way. The personal identity of these human figures is confirmed by the clothing and attributes. This makes the work current and accessible.
The key component is not the quality of the materials - what's needed is magic. If that magic is present, the most basic daily matters and the plainest language can be turned into a device of surprising sophistication.
