The themes she handles in her current work focuses on portraits and self portraits, the absurd and lack common of sense of the human being and the illusion of fantastic worlds. In her work she tries to ask questions and establish her own rules.
It is as much about ideas and feelings as the appearance of a work of art.
The idea is to open the eyes and see the world in another way, breaking with the traditional to achieve new realities.
