I have never subscribed to the capitalist art model that demands artists define themselves by a single, fixed style. Leonardo da Vinci was never confined to one way of making—he was an explorer, an inventor, a perpetual student of the world. Today’s art market treats art as a product and pressures artists to compress their vision into neat, repetitive themes, as if we were machines built for output rather than creators driven by curiosity. I fully reject this approach. For me, art is a living process—expansive, experimental, and joyful—and I refuse to let that become mechanical.
Artistic Style
My work moves along two parallel paths: one is a mythic and spiritual exploration of human existence, and the other is an ecofeminist, socio-political practice that examines environmental trauma and systemic violence. You can find more information about each on the links below:

Art Workshops
My art workshops are spaces for exploration, dialogue, and process. Rooted in a surrealist and ecofeminist sensibility, my teaching encourages each participant to access their own visual language while engaging with questions of body, memory, and environment.
I offer small group sessions focused on drawing, mixed media, and creative process. Each class adapts to the rhythm and curiosity of the participants, emphasizing experimentation, presence, and awareness rather than fixed results.
