Always passionate about contemporary art, with a particular propensity for material art, she attended artistic circles of Milan, always seeking for exchanging experience with other painters.
Her artworks are very interesting and point out her course of study and her constant research.
The use of different substances in the artworks on canvas, where painting and colors are at material’s disposal; it is the material itself that shapes, colors and gives "thickness" to the piece of art, giving three-dimensionality to the canvas, also involving the senses: sight, touch, olfaction but most of all giving "thrills” to the observer.
From her artworks, you can experience her constant efforts of creating matches, donating material to an abstract and intangible world: the world of the soul, dream, of sound and memory.
