Semmer's «Kleine Schwimmerinnen 6 (little swimmers 6)» are assigned to her «Schlachtensee series», which was created between 2002 and 2004, based on photographs of the eponymous recreation area in Berlin. With the transfer into oil, she not only joins the observation and artistic processing of special social spaces of the French Impressionists in terms of content. She also translates in an exemplary manner those characteristics of light, mood and vibration that the early plein air painters defined as antipodes to French academic painting.
