There was a period in her life when she was occupied with making stone mosaics, since then, she is back to painting. Mainly known for painting nudes, gothic dark paintings, using dark colors, she has now decided to switch her style in using bright colors, painting a mix between realistic and abstract, inspired by the broken and twisted society we are living in. The paintings represent the broken society and the colors tell us that we all must strive to find happiness within.
