Artist

Her works creates a distance between herself, men of her society and all women of the world. The characters of her paintings don't depict overt sexuality. Instead they show frightened women, who wear masks to protect them from the outside world. Her colored girls express modesty and shame. They know nothing about their maturity, leaving the opposite gender the giant to be discovered.

Her art expanded into poetry, and she became a writer. The connections between her painting and poetry are visible. Her favorite influences are artists Jaime Zapata and Shirin Neshat.
