With training and experience in design, her work finds its basis in her own experiences and her vision of nature and the dark and bright side of feminine energy. Under an abstract gaze that explores the idea of the liberation of forms, of the movement of the body as the only guide and of feeling above thinking. They are paintings that evoke meditation and the search for inner calm.
" In my work, I explore the intersection of art and meditation, using the creative process as a pathway to mindfulness. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and engage with the present moment. Through the rhythm of brushstrokes, the interplay of color, and the layering of textures, I aim to evoke a sense of tranquility and introspection...
My art reflects the stillness found within meditation, transforming chaos into clarity. Each artwork serves as a reminder to pause, to reflect, and to find beauty in the act of simply being. Through this practice, I hope to inspire others to connect with their own inner landscapes and embrace the meditative power of creativity. "
Behind the work
Creating a custom painting is a unique process that combines the client’s vision with the artist’s creativity. This collaborative journey turns an initial idea into a unique work of art, one that not only decorates a space, but also reflects the personality and tastes of the person commissioning it. Below, we will explain how this process unfolds, from the conception of the idea to the delivery of the final work.
