“My roots are in theater, and the desire to notify tales produced me an artist. And as an artist, a single of the equipment I use is pictures. Using images as a sort of personal expression, it was in artistic and up to date pictures that I identified a fertile setting so which I could overflow all my issues. As a legacy of my skills in the theater, my visuals have accentuated staging, with fantastic visible and conceptual drama. My perform has a baroque visual element with a moody environment. I use darkish art as a visual strategy to specific myself. My great inspirations and references are Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Zdzisław Beksiński, Brooke Shaden, Olivier de Sagazan and Gottfried Helnwein. I appropriate the self-portrait to construct my narratives. I use each manipulated digital photography and hybrid images to be able to express my issues. My primary motivations are questioning and criticism. My perform isn’t going to seek a nice location. It seeks soreness. From identification of what disturbs me, my pictures convey it out and generate reflections. My key inquiries are relevant to my identity as a lady in an oppressive society. I seek to go over all the things that attacks us, is imposed on us, and is unpleasant. We are not only moved by the elegance, but the unpleasant and the grotesque also encourage us. People are created of light-weight and shadow. Speaking about ache is just as vital as talking about joy. It can be upsetting and awkward, but it’s liberating. I am currently doing the job with Fine Art, seeking for distinctive pictures that talk to distinct themes and with the development of broader and deeper projects that will socially relate to my environment.”
