"Man is born with great potential. But only a small part of it is used by him, especially in the creative field. Much is lost through socialization. But with Inga it is different. From childhood on she paints and draws with great obsession. With an iron will she has stood up to all those who hindered her creative development."- Krzysztof Płaza

Inge H. Schmidt's artworks
"My "Heads" are also a tribute to the people who went or are going their own ways to find their place in a society, as strangers or born in the country or as strangers in their own country. No matter if he is a Uyghur, a Mexican farmer, a Siberian shaman, a Tibetan beggar, a stubborn remaining punk or a sad Muslim old man in Berlin Kreuzberg" - Inge H.Schmidt
