In her works of art until 2020, Tanja Playner reminds us of the positive moments of our lives. She succeeds in perfectly combining modern objects with positive emotions. The black and white painted women with blue eyes and pink lips in the colorful motifs have become their trademark. In most of her works of art, the artist deliberately shows no straight lines with the hint of an imperfect life and allows us to think about the future path of our society with love, humor and positive charisma and to make this world a little more beautiful with radiant emotions. In 2015, she launched the charity project "Pop Art for Children". Tanja Playner also deals with modern objects, consumer products and people's emotions. She speaks in her art about the way of our society and touches the hearts of the beholder with the colorful colors in conjunction with positive emotions. Their motives are not sad emotions, and they are the opposite of cartoons. Alongside the pop art artworks Tanja Playner took the first steps towards her current art, which involves the parallel or perpendicular placement of body parts in relation to each other and to objects, in 2018. The concept of perpendicular placement of body parts in relations to each other and to objects and landscapes, like body art, has increasingly become an inseparable part of her art. Visitors to their exhibitions include the President of Austria Heinz Fischer with his wife Margit Fischer, singer Jazz Gitti, world-famous pianist and conductor Stefan Vladar, Professor Frank Hoffmann, well- known pianist and professor at the University of Music and Performing Arts Markus Schirmer, Governor. Joseph Pühringer etc. The artist 's artworks are in public and private collections as well as in the possession of the Federal Ministry of Defense in Austria, one of the members of the European Order of the House of Habsburg - Lorraine, St. George Order, as well as in the possession of Ernst Piech - grandson of Ferdinand Porsche.

The artist is represented by the PAKS Gallery in Austria and Germany. Her artworks can be seen at the Biennials and art fairs in Basel, Paris and Cannes as also in the MOCAMAG Museum in Villa am Kaiserweg in Austria.
The contemporary artist Tanja Playner is one of those modern voices that challenge our conventional ways of seeing and radically reframe our perception of the human body. In her works, she dislocates body parts from their anatomical context and arranges them in unusual, often perpendicular orientations—both in relation to other body parts and to objects within the composition. This playful deconstruction of space and figure is reminiscent of the experiments of Georg Baselitz, who consistently turned his figures upside down to free the viewer from conventional patterns of interpretation. While Baselitz unsettles the viewer through inversion, Playner uses the vertical line as a point of rupture, around which perspective, perception, and composition unfold anew. Compared to artists like David Hockney, who plays with multiple viewpoints, or Cubists like Picasso and Braque, who depict objects simultaneously from different perspectives, Playner's approach can be seen as a distinct development of these traditions—but with a more graphic and decorative clarity that also reveals its Pop Art roots. Playner applies this principle not only to her depictions of figures, but also to her landscapes. Her trees are not arranged neatly in a straight line, but rather stand at right angles to one another, overlapping and juxtaposed, as if engaged in a kind of dialogue. At intersections, they grow in a staggered pattern, giving the landscape an almost surreal depth. In this way, space is not portrayed as a realistic, natural setting, but rather as a conceptual construct in which movement, perspective, and idea are in dynamic tension. Tanja Playner thus develops her own unique visual body art language, which is not only aesthetically striking but also conceptually challenging. Her work is playful yet not naive constructed yet not rigid. It opens up new interpretations of the body, nature, and perspective, making her one of the most exciting voices in the contemporary art scene. Artist Tanja Playner has managed to attract people worldwide with her colorful artworks. Her pictures are stylish, glamorous, eye-catching and sought after worldwide. Her Pop Art artworks are unique and unmistakable. They make the hearts of many people beat faster. With her messages of love, zest for life, lifestyle and optimism, Pop Art artist inspires the world. With her statement - "My art is not shocking - it makes people happy all over the world!", The public perception of artist Tanja Playner is spreading at the speed of light. Over 500,000 followers on Twitter (as of 1 August 2017) from 5 continents. Herr fans include singers, authors, owners of big companies, producers, politicians and just hundreds of thousands of art lovers. Numerous Retweets, as well as comments to the press articles show that the art of the artist the broad public likes. The graziel Pop Art artist has done a lot in her life. After her son's premature birth could only be prevented by an emergency operation in the 19th week of pregnancy, she was hospitalized for a long time. The artist had to be confined to bed for 12 weeks at the hospital in Ried im Innkreis to fight for the life of her unborn son. With the fear of losing her child every day, she has created an imaginary dream world in which to live her wishes and the beautiful things in life. The beautiful things of life are sometimes unreal dream worlds consisting of landscape and architecture, unreal social events, but also just the normal things that every normal family can experience every day with their children. These daydreams were sketched by the Pop Art artist and realized after her hospitalization in her Pop Art oil paintings. From these artworks the exhibition "Life is beautiful" was created.
