What inspiration lies behind your art?
I am a young woman who manifests through painting, it is a space where I feel safe and far from the current violence in our country, a space where I can freely express my concerns, my concern from nature and for endangered species of extinction and through art to give a place and a voice to the animals of our planet that are being abused, mistreated, violated and that it is urgent to return to the connection that we are losing as human beings.
My influences are varied, depending on the characters, for example portraits, abstract and figurative landscapes and mythological creatures.
