During the coronavirus pandemic that slowed down her activities within an associative platform, she decided to devote herself fully to painting.

Femininity and identity are omnipresent in her work, the luminous colors, symbols and dream-like nature of which celebrate the feminine beauty and nature.

Real flora with colored faces, her canvas reveal women of diverse origins who meet and mingle where geographical, ethnic and cultural boundaries no longer exist.
