Artistic Statement

My painting is a space between reality and the dream world.

​

It is the quiet language of symbols — a language that awakens only when I allow it to speak through color, light and the golden dust of the moment.

I create a world in which feminine energy blends with strength, vulnerability and an inner kingdom — the world of Empress Josephine.
In this realm, pearls carry soul connections, the crown embodies inner dignity, light shows the way, and the symbolism of the heart marks the deepest center of the human being.
Every motif is part of a personal story that I transform into a universal language through the act of painting.

My works emerge from a meditative state in which reality loses its logic and intuition takes its place.
The colors I choose — imperial red, blue, green, mother-of-pearl tones and gold — are not merely aesthetic; they are carriers of emotions, memories and inner landscapes.
I use them as energetic portals through which the viewer enters a space where past, present and personal symbols merge into a single narrative.

For me, art is an intimate pilgrimage — to feminine strength, tenderness, memory, love and transformation.
Each painting is a reflection of this journey, not as a finished story, but as an invitation for the viewer to discover their own within it.

My work is an ode to the inner beauty to which we always return.
It is a kingdom of the heart, where every soul is invited to shine.
