His paintings are painted without research effects or artifices, to the benefit of narration.
Metaphorical representations that express truths beyond their visible form.
The objectivity of the objects of the world is substituted for the painter's subjectivity. When asked to explain her paintings, she quotes Francis Bacon: "If we can say it, why bother to paint it?"
