When I looked through the book by the 17th century artist, PJ. Redoute "The Most Beautiful Flowers", each flower evoked an image and emotion as different as the flowers are in their colors, shapes, fragrance and movements. To me, they are not only flowers anymore, they have integrated into the big picture of life.
 
And so, I decided to begin a diary of painting my visions, emotions, moods and imaginations daily using one flower per day as my canvas.
It's a remarkable process to see and feel the unseen and to make out your own interpretation.

Flower Diary

Humans, Flora & Fauna


I have been always fascinated by human nature and the many layers we have: the body, our dreams, emotions, vulnerability, reactions, reflections, escape, love, calmness, intensity, desires, worries, on and on. This series is a direct reflection of the invisible world that lives within.

UNDERCURRENTS

Desert - an ecosystem, that supports a community of distinctive plants 
specially adapted to the harsh environment. 

The Cactus World

 ​  Judging, correcting, perfecting, vulnerability, fantasy,love, hate It's about my face.  In these portraits there is something incredibly private happening, as if we are being let into someone’s secret world. In reality, they reveal the discomfort of a woman coming to terms with herself and her relationship to the world where the vulnerability is defined as a struggle for perfection.The portraits depict our light and dark sides, the parts of ourselves which we show and those that we hide.
