The subject of her artistic explorations is mainly landscape. The search for the relation between landscape space and the emotional interpretation of the natural world has become her trademark. Her most recent works depict human beings, however, in a non-literal way. Through numerous symbols, the artist tries to present dreams and individual and social fears. In doing so, she attempts to tame her deepest fascinations and nostalgias. For her, painting is also a struggle with the primal force and energy pulling man towards nature, towards special places in search of fulfilment and the sacred.
