"Son univers de signes, de formes, de couleurs et de constructions en plâtre, en fil de fer, en polyester et en fibre de verre ou en traits de crayon fait songer aux bestiaires des temples hindous, peuplés d'animaux sauvages et de toutes les beautés d'une nature inapprivoisée." (Pontus Hulten in Niki de Saint Phalle, éd. Verlag Gerd Hatje, 1992, La fureur et le plaisir du travail, p.13)
