Concept

Currently inspired by lessons learned in surfing, she works on developing abstract sculptures and wall pieces on movement and speed. Comical names as Wakame Rider or Longboard boogie, gives a light-hearted impression, but we all know how merciless the ocean can be. 
Human against nature is a new satirical theme, telling the story about human struggle to find balance and clarity if only just for a short ride.

Concept

She creates works based on her interests and the questions that arise from her surroundings and dialogues. She has been focusing on creating a number of paintings that are mainly based on the human will.
Since her solo exhibition “Addition to Traces,” held in 2020, in which she drew on the belongings of others, her interest in people living in the present has grown stronger, and she has repeatedly recorded (created) trivial changes in the world that unfold in front of her eyes as parts of her works, in real time.
She agrees with the words of numerous painters who have told her that “to live is to paint,” and she works with her brush in her studio every day.
