She chose to mix up the classical principle of art and to create its own voice and combine several techniques to create a way of communication with the observer. Her paintings have multiple dimensions and perspectives that give them vitality and the desire to be touched because the sculptures are installed on the canvas. Humanity, femininity and recently also politics are the main subjects of her works. What you see in her works are spontaneous feelings or thoughts well thought taking their forms and telling their individual stories.
