My technique stands out for its strong focus on material and texture. The approach is organic, and the gesture is clearly visible. The large formats and contrasts enhance the visual impact — it demonstrates a solid mastery of material and a coherence between gesture, texture, and color.” — Quentin Métayer, Curator, Perrotin (Paris) / Singulart Review My art transforms emotion into atmosphere — a tactile language where feminine strength, memory, and texture merge into form. Each painting is a dialogue between color, light, and material, designed to bring serenity, authenticity, and emotional connection to refined interiors. After three decades in technology leadership, I turned from strategy to intuition — from control to creation. Painting began as an act of survival and evolved into my language of freedom, transforming exhaustion into harmony and silence into presence. My abstraction is autobiographical, translating emotion into texture and resilience into form. Influenced by Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, and Anselm Kiefer, my process embraces imperfection, gesture, and the raw beauty of matter. I work with layered fabrics, sand, and organic pigments, allowing every mark to carry memory — a feminine trace of vulnerability and quiet power. Each surface becomes a map of experience: textured, imperfect, alive. My work has been exhibited internationally in Barcelona, Milan, Lecce, and Braga, and I was commissioned to create exclusive collections for luxury hotels and spas in Verona, Italy, Corporate Offices inPortugal, where art and wellness converge through atmosphere and presence. Recognized among the Top 10 Berlin Contemporary Artists (2024–2025) and finalist for the European Artist of the Year Award in Venice, my practice continues to explore how silence, texture, and gesture can reveal what words cannot. Each piece is created not only to be seen, but to be felt — transforming contemporary interiors into experiences of calm, beauty, and quiet strength.
