The artist about her work:
"In my paintings I focus on a minimalist form, which allows me to depict observations in a simple way and capture answers to self-inflicted questions of a philosophical and existential nature. The figures depicted rarely show specific people, rather they are collective paintings. I focus on depicting the spiritual journey that a person takes throughout life. I want my paintings to enter into a dialogue with the viewer, so that he or she feels uplifted as a result of the reflection resulting from the observation and analysis of my paintings."
