STATEMENT
Color has a great importance to her work. Her paintings are named by honoring the dominant color of their spectrum.
She chooses several topics to depict, according to geometry, perspective, optical laws and expressionistic gestures.
Philosophically she attempts to render each subject as a global and broader concept.
History of Art taught her that either with realistic or abstract technique, all styles remind us that, in art, the different subjective opinions can co-exist in peace while complementing Culture. This would be her wish for World History too.
