“My work is an opportunity for me to be away, in another world, focused on one thing at a time, in silence, alone. 
 
In my work, I depict what is essential to me and what I cannot put into words; some moments when you realize the absurdity of life. The  themes of my art are the joys and pain points of humanity, especially the lives and emotions of women and girls: joy, sadness, anger and freedom 
 
I paint with a centuries-old layer painting technique, where overlapping thin layers of paint give the work the colour, light and atmosphere I want. 
In my sculptures, I work with recycled materials while protecting nature, mainly using the sculpture mass I have developed. I won't cast away small objects, trinkets, fragments into which the world drowns.” 
 
The fragments also describe well the world she experiences around us. 
As a counterbalance to the broken world, we can see small moments of happiness, which are not always part of the everyday reality of all of us.
