Her work can be described as both monumental and fragile, the strong colour palette, exuberant proportions, the power and the violence allude to a monumental character from which a palpable fragility is released. De Saint-Phalle's work is reflective of the challenges that she faced in her private life and provided insight and commentary on societal tensions of the time.

Artists are asked to take inspiration from the paradoxical of this 2 themes.
