Kittie Bruneau’s works are often seen in dialogue with those of painters such as Karel Appel and Joan Miró. Her pictorial language has also been associated with the CoBrA movement, which advocated a return to primal and spontaneous expression. However, this comparison quickly reaches its limits, as Bruneau asserts a singular aesthetic deeply rooted in her inner world. Through the simplification of form, she manages to translate and communicate the emotions she wishes to share with the viewer.

As Bernard Paquet wrote in Vie des arts:
“The exuberance of colors and the bold arabesque of lines, the profusion of animal representations, the almost childlike rendering of bodies, and the suggestion of half-human masks all contribute to imprinting the work with an atmosphere of festivity, even of carnival, that seems to belong to the realm of dreams.”
