She has some beautiful collaborations with foundations, festivals, companies and press. She works in analog and digital ways. Either way her colors are bold and eccentric, colors that have their origins into carnival
as it is celebrated for ages in the city she was born. Her visual language is spoken through a child’s eyes. Her themes are about daydreaming and
reminiscing. She starts by depicting a memory and she discovers the way this memory is connected to the present. Her art aims to relax the viewer,
soothe, reward and eve acquit.

She makes art for the child we all have inside us, she makes art because that’s all she knows, she makes art for Santa Claus who may exist. For the power of our fragile nature that can become the driving force of today.
