Statement
One of the main aspects of my artistic work is the public representation of women's artistic work: That women composers, and women artists in general, are still intentionally and knowingly overshadowed by their male counterparts in 2021 is incomprehensible and unjustifiable by anything.

Selection of works
About her work:
Interacting, collaborating, being creative - interdisciplinary & experimental, contemporary & exciting, emotional & philosophical. To consider art in any form musically and to bring it to the public, such as: my work "windserie" (https://sylviahinz.bandcamp.com/album/windserie-i-vii) deals with the sounds of wind and water, also their combination, e.g. by the sea, but also in unleashed form as storm / storm surge. Breath, wind, nature, storm, water, sea - strong and untamed aspects of (human) nature.
