Emotional women's faces are enriched by the gaze, in which mood can be found. The color reflects the vibrant life full of affection, energy and vitality of the figures looking at the outside world from a distance. The deep gaze with clearly defined eyes gives a sense of dialogue with the viewer. Her works add originality to the interior. They are a pretext for searching for answers to the questions "Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?"- P.Gauguin.
