Her transcends mere representation, capturing the subtle nuances of life that often go unnoticed. She sees it as her mission to illuminate the intangible core of existence, allowing it to resonate through her creations. By blending elements of the periphery with abstract forms, she invites viewers to explore the expressions of life that are often hinted at in everyday moments. Superimpositions serve as a vital technique in her work, enhancing the interplay between the familiar and the abstract.

Her work always leads the viewer back to themselves, to this centre, away from the periphery, towards the actual.
You could call it contemplation. Awareness of the actual.
​
Politics, political events, trends, certain currents of opinion are expressions of world events which, however emotional are taking place on the periphery of life.
They influence our lives positively and negatively, but only our lives that take place on the periphery the main remains unaffected.
She pursues the aim of hinting at this depth and making it visible in her artistic body
of work.
​
Her main medium is painting in oil and mixed media on canvas, as well as drawing, which she repeatedly breaks with three-dimensional and digital works. She calls these two-dimensional or three-dimensional artistic works also painting.
​
In her current work, she explores the possibilities of intuitive events and free painting, which are based on so-called ‘coincidences’ and on the interweaving of elements in the picture with the artist's accompaniment.
