The artist herself notes:

"Art is a means of communication for me. I express myself mainly through painting, photography and video art, with the choice depending on the theme of each work. 

My source of inspiration is anything that moves me and piques my interest, while my main expectation is that the viewer interprets my work according to their own perceptions."
