She is a curious world traveler, she works as a manager during the dayand ancd she becames an artist by night and those are the elements that induce the artist to constantly confront herself with different environments and to increase her spirit of observation at such a high level that she declares: "Over the years I have learned more and more observing everything that surrounds me people and things understanding what people are saying and what they actually mean ".
For the artist, painting is a journey without a destination, a path that leads her to know, synthesize and photograph a precise moment: the instant.
