The enthusiasm and desire to express herself keeps her going on in a continious evolution.She has exhibited locally in numerous group shows and is starting to participate in international shows.Strong self confident women are the central subject of her paintings.They explore themes of desire, power and independence and celebrate the natural beauty of the human body. She paints semi abstract nudes and portraits in a multilayer technique, making use of various materials such as enamel, acrylic paint and watercolour. She is fascinated about the idea the viewer is captured by the expression especially of the eyes, moving in a place of speculation revealing imagery and emotions and how the painting tells a different and private story to every beholder, depending on their own experiences. But her artworks are also a reflection of herself, she likes knowing and learning more about herself, and bringing that authenticity in her paintings.
