The artist’s practice is based on the development of the pictorial body (oil painting on linen or cotton) and her approach to an imaginary world linked to her personal way of relating to others. Her work contains repeated motifs such as couples in interior spaces, figures reclined in domestic spaces, and series of small-scale self-portraits.
The main goal of I Do Not Have Enough Clothes To Dress All The People I Become is to continue working with paint, taking into account the aspects of colour, composition, texture, spaces, formats and limitations, thus addressing all the issues involved in painting, rethinking them and continuing to work on them.
