All the complexity of the human experience nourishes her artistic approach. What guides her is a quest for the invisible, a desire to reveal what escapes appearances. Through her works, she seeks to capture raw emotion, the uniqueness of an expression, the depth of a gaze, or the intensity of a posture. Each line, drawn with black stone, becomes a pathway to the human essence—a means of unveiling inner narratives where strength and vulnerability intertwine. The backgrounds she paints enhance this depth, adding layers of mystery and light, as if to illuminate the unspeakable. She thus invites the viewer on a shared journey, where human emotions unfold in all their intensity and complexity.
A member of the Taylor Foundation, the Friends of the Salon d’Automne, the Maison des Artistes, and the ADAGP, and a sociétaire of the Salon d’Automne, she has stood out for her singular vision. She has received several awards, including the Painting Prize at the Grande Expo Internationale 2023 in Montsûrs, the Expressionism Prize at the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 2022, and the Creativity Prize at Art Expo in Palermo in 2020
