Each project begins with a deep immersion in matter and territory. Creation emerges through a process of listening and attention: researching with the hands, the body, and thought, and allowing form to arise from this encounter. Artistic practice becomes a space of understanding, where making is a way of relating to the world and of situating oneself within it.
Her work seeks to recover a slow and conscious approach to creation, rooted in place and its rhythms. Variability, imperfection, and transformation are embraced as essential conditions of the work, while painting unfolds as an open process rather than a fixed image.
With a background in dance and performative arts, the body remains central to her practice. Painting becomes a space of direct contact between body, matter, and surface, where gesture negotiates with the behavior of materials. Texture, density, and erosion participate in the formation of the image, allowing matter itself to guide the work.
Positioned between abstraction and figuration, her works function as thresholds where landscape, movement, and time converge. Embracing an organic conception of temporality, the paintings are understood as living organisms: open to transformation, instability, and change. Within this process, body, matter, and language intertwine in a continuous dialogue between experience, thought, and material presence.
