Exploring the infinite surface of colors, color matter and color differences in their various manifestations forms the focus on her artistic work. This aims at the perception of color and its own value, as well as on its sensual and physical presence, and moves within a reduced formal language. The result is a painting developed from color material, without reference to an extra-pictorial context. The color, freed from any representational function, is autonomous, condenses inwardly and releases forces. This creates currents and energies that make painting sensually perceptible and tangible as a sensual experience. However, beyond perception, the images can also evoke and convey points of view on contemporary issues within the context in which they are created. It is also intended to allow the pictorial objects to enter into a dialogue, a tense relationship with the it sorrounding space.
