I am a woman, “the best and the worst”, as Johnny Hallyday said in one of his songs. I had decided to start the adventure of painting after a certain number of personal reflections. At the beginning, I did not know what suited me and what style I could adopt, but I let myself be carried away by passion and intuition. In difficult times, I fled in brushes and colors, in textures and materials. An activity Intense artistry guided me to an unpredictable depth and dissolved my inner feelings.

My goal is to create different paintings that evoke mystery through their textures and colors. I use a variety of materials and tools to create the textures, sometimes unusual materials like nails. I paint intuitively and let myself be carried away by my unconscious. Often times, I like to observe nature and find things that I can incorporate into my paintings. Through my work I hope to create a true connection with the viewer by using color and texture to suggest the interplay of energy and stillness // observe and feel // present and past. I love the textures and unusual. I like to break the rules of the conventional and free myself from concepts and styles. Any blank canvas becomes an adventure space that I can shape as I wish.

The world of art and painting, in general, has produced many wonders that are difficult to match. But each era has its share of artists. A finished product carries a message from the emotions of the artist who perfected it. So each work has its own unique character and has intrinsic value. I have no formal studies in art, but I can tell myself that I feel it with all my mind and that I can see the beauty in the ugly and be able to give the ugly beauty that is worth it. Sometimes I was just thinking about how we get to express ourselves on a canvas?

And the answer would be that some kind of personal DNA has been transferred to the paint which will perhaps contribute to the creation of hybrids.

I was never able to stay at the first breath, I was always guided by new methods that I discovered while working. I didn't try to follow a particular style and wanted to be as creative and innovative as possible. Let's say I adopted a bit of everything. I have tried different textures, mediums and new materials. I think that can define the art of the 21st century.
