Z vzorci, črtami in pomenljivimi obrisi umetnica gleda, razmišlja, preverja in tipa, da bi z likovnimi sredstvi predočila daljne in njej bližnje kulture, ki govorijo samo en jezik, to je jezik ljudi, človečnosti. Analizira in sintetizira utrip t. i. genius loci in genius seculi; duha kraja in časa. Magična črta izriše konture teles in pomenljive vzorce; ti imajo v afriški kulturi posebne pomene, približajo nam življenje. So nosilci posebne biološke/življenjske in etične simbolike ter sredstvo za razumevanje bližnjega, tudi vplivanja nanj. Portreti ljudi, ki jih umetnica pozna in so ji blizu, so zaradi barv in vzorcev polni resničnega življenja, pa naj se na videz zdi, da portretiranci samo pozirajo v položaju počitka in premišljevanja … Žive slike/portreti živijo svoje lastno življenje in na poseben način nagovarjajo gledalce; zapredejo nas s posebnimi nagovori, mi pa se odzivamo skozi lastno optiko, z (ne)vajenimi načini gledanja, ki jim vedno pridamo še del sebe. Razumemo jih v kontekstu prostora, časa in družbenih premen. Kažejo se skozi specifične poglede na življenje, nazore, družbene norme, kulturo.
Tjaša Rener je potegnila nevidno, a vseprisotno nit med magičnimi lastnostmi snovi, med materijo in utripanjem življenja. Vsakdanji predmeti in tekstilije so povezani z zemljo in življenjem, tako kot so okrasje in maske z mitologijo in obredi iniciacije. Oblačila s posebnimi vzorci in drugi pridatki označujejo kulturo, pripovedujejo zgodbe in nas uvedejo v razumevanje mitov.

Tjaša Rener uses artistic means such as patterns, lines, and meaningful contours to observe, reflect, examine, and explore, giving us access to distant or, to her, familiar cultures that speak a single language: the language of humanity. The artist analyses and synthesises the pulse of the so-called genius loci and genius seculi; the spirit of place and time. The magical line sketches the contours of bodies and suggestive patterns that carry special meanings in African culture by teaching us about life. They have special functions as biological and ethical symbols; they are a means of understanding others and influencing them. Due to the colours and patterns, the portraits of people the artist knows well and is close to are brimming with life, even though the subjects may seem to be posing in states of rest or reflection. Living paintings/portraits live their own lives and speak to viewers in a special way, captivating them with special messages, while viewers respond through their own lens, with (un)familiar ways of seeing, always adding a part of themselves. The portraits are understood in the context of space, time, and social changes, revealing themselves through specific views of life, ways of thinking, social norms, and culture.
Tjaša Rener has drawn an invisible yet omnipresent thread between the magical properties of materials, between matter and the pulse of life. Everyday objects and textiles are connected to the earth and life, just as decor and masks are connected to mythology and initiation rites. Clothes with distinctive patterns and other accessories signify culture, tell stories, and introduce us to an understanding of myths.
