Description for Website

The artist explores how nature and human life intertwine, uncovering analogies through forms, cycles, and symbolism. The tree, a recurring element in her poetics, symbolizes life and fertility, reflecting the challenges and processes that shape our existence.
Her work highlights organic forms that resonate with human experience, making visible what often goes unnoticed—small details that only reveal themselves through attentive observation, through the lens of perception.
For her, nature’s patterns—scars, thorns, pruning marks, keloids—mirror the challenges and processes that also define the human journey. Observing nature is an exercise in understanding our belonging within the ecosystem.
The artist also investigates human-made patterns and combines them with organic forms. Geometric designs merge with images from nature, creating compositions where the natural world and human creation poetically coexist.
Her work seeks to make life’s simplicity visible—an attempt to share a perspective that finds art in the small things. Using various techniques, she presents details she believes deserve attention. Her works invite contemplation.
