Artist Statement


​In my work I embody my own vision of everyday life, under a feminine perspective, revealing characters and stories that are invisible under our current society’s context. I also portray in art forms, our ancestral footprints and symbolisms found in nature, now forgotten by our present culture.

​All of my work is supported on historical and cultural research on the subject, as well as experimenting with technics and materials as needed to convey my vision and message, such as fabrics made from waste textiles and recycled PET bottles, as a means to communicate respect and love for nature.
