Artistic approach

​

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve always learned and taken inspiration from nature. From my window, I’m constantly looking at nature as if it were a painting. I spend a lot of time observing nature’s creative force, its delicate nuances revealing its inner intimate self and creating an entire universe. From color, shape is born; Then, I can insert myself in this creative force and experience it within the universe. When I’m painting, I’m not just applying color to a canvas. What matters most to me is reaching a cosmic dimension; feeling my art’s existence and harmony within the cosmos.
