The Creator Painting

Her artworks, mainly portraits and compositions, are inspired by psychic states that reflect a timeless and innocent dimension within us. The art of Iconography is used in a modern way to communicate the sacred, which is eternally present, or the presence which is eternally sacred. This dimension lies within the spectator and the artworks are there to simply mirror it. She incorporates the use of symbols, as they derive from the archetypal unconscious and, furthermore she uses the body posture as a symbol itself to reveal psychic states of being. Time and timeless, flesh and spirit, separation and unity dance simultaneously within us, weaving the opposites and revealing the sacred soul of human kind.
