Dr. Jurate Macnoriute THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION art magazine: ".. Yes, proficiency and talent do wonderwork. It seems applying plastic means the perfect master of composition is able to express any idea, any tremble of soul with facility. Yes, it is difficult to find contemporary art movement on that shelf we may put the art of Ellen Gera. We can talk long about magic realism, visual narration, closeness to Pittura Metafisica and symbolism. But any art movement's frame can not hold her entirety. She has something from perpetuity and from the depth of soul that only greatest artists of the past had. We fell that everything what she do is so true, unmitigated, intrinsic, authentic, sincere, spiritual, sacred that juxtaposed modernistic stunts seem childish, fake and zany."
