She excels in painting, drawing, and crocheting, and is best known for her oil and canvas paintings of houseplants set against oriental carpets. These works figuratively represent a modern urban perspective on nature, metaphorically depicting gardens within city environments.​

 

Koleszár’s subject matter often explores the garden as a symbol throughout art history, portraying it as a sanctuary in the digital age where personal privacy is increasingly compromised. Her art emphasizes the concept of the walled garden as a contemporary refuge. Her work is characterized by its intricate depiction of natural elements within domestic settings, reflecting a harmonious blend of nature and urban life. Notable projects include her painting series Urban Paradise (2022) and I went into the Garden to spread my soul (2024).​
