She is very interested in the material silk. She loves the clarity and limpidity of the material and that it is naturally made from the cocoon of silkworm. She evolved a unique and unconventional style with watercolor on silk to express her ideas about life.
She says: “To me, an artwork should bring enjoyers rich, natural and long-lasting vibrations. These vibrations give them new feelings about themselves and life. It even completely changes their vision of the world around them. I hope we will be more kind to our nature house that we live in, in order to receive more good things”.
