The CGAC dedicated a retrospective that travelled exceptionally to Milan, Naples and Rome.

about the artist's works

Her production is a vibrant symbolic universe where she fuses abstract and figurative elements in large formats and structures the colour chromatisms so characteristic of its expressive language, which makes it a genuine and consolidated artist within the world of plastic arts. Colour strata, chromatic textures and subtle movements of matter permeate the canvases of intense yellows, radiant blues and greens, in contrast to warm and cold hues, creating a habitat for the viewer's gaze. Passion, strength and expression flood the production of this artist who always claims the role of women in contemporary art.
