HI STRANGER WELCOME
TO MY WORLD OF THE IN BETWEEN
My work does not belong to painting neither does it belong to photography.
I look within the trench between painting and photography
The base of my working method depicts dreams, memories that transform into a imprint within a painting or photograph.
It is the story that has been told that is giving people images in their mind on how it looked like.
But the experience of something like it is the highest form of it al. To live.
I see paintings as an extract that is trying to perform this experience based story we tell ourselves.
Through interests on symbolism, dreams, stories and movement.
The translated symbolism of a dream is liberating and therefore important in a time of trapped reality within an increasingly influential virtual world.

What moves me?
So shortly what moves me is how art breathes into me.
It comes and goes.
The world I see is a different world
Sometimes it’s photography, other times it’s painting, and there are times when it is music too.
At the moment I’m working on music behind the scenes.
Photography Painting and Poetry
are acting as a research which are exposing vulnerability.
Painting , Photography and Poetry are the mediums that expose the feelings and worlds that are
hidden for the daily human being.
These are the raw feelings I try to express in these in between worlds I’m so fascinated by.
I think as a woman and human of these days within the perfectionism of the human psyche this is more urgent than ever before as a message of living life and using the mediums as an act of forgiveness within ourselves and others.
I feel vulnerable when I paint.
It’s unknown to me what will come out.
Sometimes I try to control too much.
But I need to be able to keep an open mind and let go every time I do it.
To be vulnerable to me is a power that exposes the rawness of humanity and in that I hope to make a change in the world we live in by doing so.
There are forms of expression where words are absent, while the body answers with its movement
SUBJECT TO IMAGES ON WHAT IS FELT OR DEVOID
SUBJECT TO IMAGES ON WHAT IS FELT OR DEVOID
During some travels, I try to reconnect with familiarity within old monuments
.
At France, there is this place : the Menhirs In Carnac.
Where back in the old days people would align architecture with the stars.
They were fascinating.
It leaves us as humanity small together with a vast universe that expands itself.
Photography as a form of digital Painting
In-Between Worlds
These structures of nature.
They are like a refuge to me.
I sense them , write poems about them, mirror them.
