Artist Statement

Her style has been constantly evolving, following the changes in her life. Currently she focuses on painting self portraits, people and random objects in oil on canvas.

These paintings leave the single subject laying bare on the canvas in a minimalist fashion, forcing us to look at them and letting them tell us of their existence, no matter how ordinary they are.
