My artistic journey
I’ve held pencils and brushes since I was a little girl. I never studied at art school, and I don’t have any degrees in fine arts or art history. But I’ve been painting for over 40 years — mostly alone, mostly at night, mostly in silence.
For me, painting isn’t about following rules or fitting into styles. It’s about translating the invisible — dreams, feelings, memories — into something my hands can shape. My synaesthesia guides me through it: sounds and smells become colours, textures, and patterns. I mostly work with acrylics, but often mix them with things like sand, cement, or whatever I find on my walks. I like when a surface resists a little — when it asks me to listen.
Gallery of Paintings
For years I painted just for myself and the people close to me. I never felt the urge to exhibit. Even now, I avoid the spotlight — but I’ve created this space so my work can breathe a little outside of me. If you feel something here, that’s more than enough.
Abstract Paintings
Here’s where I let go of representation. I work with acrylics and mixed materials, adding layers until something feels right. Sand and cement appear often — they bring texture, resistance, memory.
These paintings come straight from my synaesthesia. Colours don’t just represent things — they carry weight, sound, temperature. Some of them are soft. Others shout. I never really know what’s going to happen on the canvas. That’s the point.
Retroplasmas
This series is more dream than image. I don’t try to explain it much. These pieces come from the place where perception and memory blur — where things you thought were gone come back as shapes and colours.
They feel like fragments from another life, or maybe another version of this one. I let them come through me. I follow the echoes. Sometimes I don’t understand them until years later.
Final note
I still believe art shouldn’t be made just to be liked — or to gather followers. That said, if you fall in love with a piece and want to live with it, you’ll have to pay for it. Not for fame. For the time, the silence, the hours spent alone building something honest with my hands.
