I create narrative spaces inspired by biology, anatomy and femininity and I am interested in the way in which the psyche perceives and constructs a certain reality by transposing it through the production of poetry and fiction. My work is mainly based on subjective experiences related to my experience, which I interpret with a playful attitude.

Often working in small series with various media on paper or digital prints, I am interested in pushing the images into spaces between these techniques. This practice, which also includes more abstract wood paintings, combines figurative and formal languages where images are characterized by the accumulation, transformation and assembly of various signs, shapes and textures.
