Marga’s works consists of flowers rendered on macro view. According to the artist, she uses floriography to convey the movement of her feelings through flowers. Floriography was a Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken. This language was most commonly communicated through Tussie-Mussies, an art which has a following today. Marga’s yellow rose closely attributes to jealousy. A bit saturated in color, her painting was done during the time when she was envious of the happiness of another person. There is also a painting of a jonquil,which means: “I hope for return of affection” it was supposed to be a painting that is to represent hope, but further ended up with the severe loss of it.
Her works are evidently autobiographical, which feels as if the artist paints through her emotions and life experiences.
