I use to work with elements of nature to convey my thoughts, readings and concept. These images are symbols that remind and relate with different happenings and other historical moments.
The legend about Aphrodite was adopted by the Romans, who used to call the goddess of love Venus. Romans made this flower a symbol of beauty and love. It was an attribute of Cupid as well. In Roman mythology, the son of Venus (Cupid) was stung by a bee when he was shooting arrows into a garden full of roses.  When Venus was walking in the garden, she pricked her foot on a thorn left by her son. It turned the roses red. During the domination of the Roman Empire, roses were also a symbol of vanity. Roman Emperors used to dump tons of rose petals on the guests of their dinners and orgies.

As a multidisciplinary artist, her creative odyssey intertwines the allure of nature's bounty with a diverse amalgamation of mediums. She employs gouache, inks, pointers, markers, graphite, and an innovative inclusion of everyday metal elements such as needles, safety pins, common pins, and paper clips in both imagery and collage, forging an artistic tapestry that blurs the lines between the natural and the industrial. At the heart of her artistic exploration lies the quest for catharsis—a profound experience seamlessly woven into the fabric of her art. Through the intricacies of plant imagery intricately entwined with metallic accents, she seeks to immerse viewers in a captivating narrative that invites introspection and emotional release. Each creation is a symphony of vibrant colors, organic textures, and unexpected metallic elements, beckoning observers into an immersive experience that transcends traditional boundaries. The juxtaposition of delicate plant forms with the ruggedness of metal fosters a sensory journey, inviting tactile engagement and visual contemplation. By incorporating real metal objects into her collages and imagery, she aims to not only provoke thought but also evoke a sense of unity between nature's organic beauty and the industrial world. This amalgamation represents the duality of existence—where the delicate and the resilient converge in a harmonious dialogue. Her art is an invitation to immerse oneself in a profound amalgam of nature's serenity and industrial resilience, nurturing moments of introspection, healing, and catharsis. It's a visual symphony where the ephemeral beauty of plants interweaves with the enduring strength of metallic elements, guiding viewers on an inner journey where the boundaries between art, nature, and human emotion dissolve.
