After many years spent using oil paint and pastels, she lately works with beeswax on panel. The technique goes back to ancient Greeks and Romans. The centre of her work is communication in all its shapes, relation between living bodies. The human element is fundamental to her paintings, even more evident when it is absent.
She has an interest in studying the behavior of a crowd in different circumstances. The aim is to express in the pictures sentiments felt during an action, thoughts, dialogue, and communication while a situation is happening.
