About her work: As a young child she was trained as a gymnast and also learnt classical ballet. She was fascinated by this unique art form which lets you express your feelings, teaches self discipline, strength and gracefulness. She was amazed by the beauty of the human body, and the ability to be able to appear strong and feminine at the same time. Her artwork reflects this expressiveness; she uses rich colours and powerful gestures. She is inspired by nature, femininity, spirituality and tends to analyze the object or model that she is working on. Her main purpose is to find that hidden inner beauty and restructure it within the work. As she mainly works from intuition and expression this will results in various styles and subjects in her work from abstract to figurative.
