“The exhibition’s name Journey has a dual symbolism. On the one hand, it symbolizes the journey that the painter makes with the purpose of discovering and revealing the inexhaustible beauty of nature, the external poetry. On the other hand, it symbolizes the painter’s internal journey, which is the journey destined towards the liberated expression of the soul and its awakening… The artworks are made by watercolours, using sensitive and bright colours that gather the poetic light, the double “journey…”

“From within her paintings emerges a strong sensation inspired by the poetic mystery of nature… The spectator is taken on a journey to the unknown aspects of the soul… There, with the spectator’s fantasy, the autonomous spiritual work is completed. Her works are liberated from the every day’s visual reality and they aim at serving and elevating the internal aesthetic human life…”

“For the painter, nature is a source of force of light and colours… The works constitute impressions of sentiments inspired by visual reality.. As she says herself, her painting is a challenge for the spectators to take them by the hand and show them this game of light,
to disclose to them the poetic livelihood of nature… Her works are given with abstraction, devoid of the redundant details… The sensation thus becomes even more intense and the spectator can smell the trees and feel the earth… She is a distinct painter with a manifold talent that is expressed in many areas of visual communication… The young painter has an inexhaustible energy… and she paints with all her being.”
