Trained as a civil engineer, she abandoned linear structures in favor of a visual language rooted in emotion, memory, and the need for liberation. Her practice began as a quiet revolt against inner violence -a way to unlearn self-judgment and reconnect with the intuitive self, the child who once made marks without fear of error.
Her paintings, often composed with oil pastels and layered textures, oscillate between chaos and stillness. They do not seek resolution; instead, they insist on presence. There is no plan, only listening - to gesture, to color, to what wants to emerge in that moment. Her forms echo unconscious landscapes, inner architectures, and sometimes, hybrid creatures that inhabit a dreamlike threshold between the personal and the archetypal.
This is not abstraction as style — it is abstraction as survival. As meditation. As a deep, ritualized practice of healing. Each piece becomes a container for vulnerability, a negotiation between control and surrender.
Her work invites us to witness this fragile tension - not as spectators, but as cohabitants of the same inner terrain.
