"Yonga feeds herself with reality as it presents itself. She recieves wide acclaim for her authentic portraits of ordinary people. Those portraits are always set in a truthful and characteristic context – but never feel harsh. By using soft light and slightly washing out the colours, she impregnates her work with a compassionate, gentle touch."
