My artworks are influenced by the complex relationship between humans and the surrounding world. I am fascinated by emotions and use my inner voice to uphold a social and universal consciousness.

I capture these emotions and thoughts through ceramic sculptures, objects, drawings and paintings.

A main concept that I approach in my artworks is the feminine universe. I explore the definition of femininity and the surrounding expectation to the «eternal feminine- eternal youth».

My paintings are often colorful with expressive or powerful brushstrokes. My ceramics work are often without glaze, minimalistic glazed or with acrylic painting, stains or organic medium.

I use different clay and burning temperature in my ceramic works and often coarse cotton canvas or linen canvas when I paint.
