STATEMENT
Her paintings are an abstraction of what we’re feeling, an emotion. It’s a timeless piece, that evolves constantly with the perception of each one. The floating shape and the lines are giving that impression of movement that never stops, like suspended in the air and in time, always following the background, trying to find a balance and a fluidity in the movement. “I’m not looking for the perfect line or shape, but for the whole impression that the painting is giving to the viewer, something that arouse the curiosity.” Expressive lines that plays with perspective and perception.
