"Painting has always been my passion, however, graduating from school effectively discouraged me from this form of self-expression. The need to create an original gift for my husband reawakened in me the desire to return to my roots. I create dynamic images, like a second frame frozen for eternity. I try to be an observer of the modern world. I want the viewer looking at my paintings to lose himself in the atmosphere of the painting feeling the heat, the dust, the gust of wind or simply the silence."
"My works are inspired by emotions and senses.... atmosphere, smell, temperature...I want the viewer to feel: heat, frost, the speed of the wind, the smell of the sea, the hum of airplane engines. I like dynamics. A second frame frozen for eternity. My goal is not to show off my painting technique, but to evoke emotions in the viewer so that he or she feels anxiety about the approaching storm, or on the contrary.... holy peace .... sadness ..grief.... or ... readiness to play.... or the darkness of a room with torn curtains through which the light of day creeps in. I like to observe how the changing light allows us to interpret the atmosphere of the same places differently."
