She captures ordinary moments and gives them a new sense of importance and magic accentuated with the vibrant and luminous color palette.

Artist Statement

Simplicity of forms, the movement captured with few delicate lines and layered, bright colors became the core of my art. I experiment with different techniques like oil, pastel and aquarelle. Combine fondness for linear drawings and sketchiness with expressive, captivating brush strokes. Many of my artworks have the unsaid character; their transparency represents openness for interpretation. Despite obvious inspiration of nature, I do not make an explicit portrait of real world; it is rather capturing some inner thoughts and reflection of the non-visual emotions.
