Some common themes found in several of her works is the “Fairy tale realism”, focusing frequently on wonder and the motifs of nature in the subject including the birth of the formative moments of life symbols and abstract images. Dreaming in harmony with the lines of the changed shape are messages of expression; these images represent moments in life where dreams and reality can coexist. Agnes has been a very specializing in expressive , colorful paintings in film based on true story and wants to sublimate it aesthetically through the contemporary art work. She is also very interested in abstract figurative paintings of emotional situation, filtered through memory, experienced and emotion feeling. She loves the continuous modes characterized by the ideas of pluralism. She has grown fond of heavy mediums but at the same time, she tries to crossover to illustration and watercolor.

Agnes truly believes that art is a venue in which one can communicate ones soul and spirit. Agnes's paintings are held in collections throughout U.S, Europe , and Canada.
