"My art talks about the feminine universe, about my dreams as a child, about the curious look kept in my memory, about the life in the countryside and the smell of wet soil, about the joy of living. I talk about the moments of loneliness, about looking at the immensity of the universe and beyond. I talk about the lived moments, about the non-lived ones, about the plots of the world, about the human being. Creating, for me, it's a necessity."
