Her artworks and collaborations have appeared in many art catalogues and magazines in the country and abroad. " In my artistic journey, I embark on a quest to unravel the intricate threads of human emotion, weaving them into a tapestry that speaks to the universal language of the soul. My work is a celebration of the profound and often ineffable aspects of the human experience, seeking to evoke a visceral response that transcends the boundaries of language and culture. I explore the interplay of light and shadow, form and void, to capture the essence of deep emotions and states of mind translated by colour, referring to the concept of Synesthesie at a subliminal level. I use mediums such as acrylic, oil, charcoal, liner or even pastels to evoke the maximum of expression starting from the level of technique and expanding to the sphere of the message and the subtext I try to reach. For example, in my most recent series of artworks entitled “Artificial Paradise” and “True colours”, my main interest was to unleash the surface and take a look beneath the apparences and the artificial identities we embody on a daily basis, searching for the quintessential substance we actually crave for.
