Her works can be found in many private and corporate collections of such companies as Siemens France and Delanchy Transports. The artist draps her inspiration from the observation of tuer word and of people and nature in everyday life. All her créations are characterised by magnitude of colours and décorative graphic elements. Her works transpose the viewer into a colourful reality, detaching them from the grey and mundane everyday life. The artist harnesses a whole spectrum of techniques in her work. The plethora of technical solutions translates into a varied style of her works, which have one common denominator - boldness of colours !
