Artist about her art
"I'm expressing myself with sticks, styluses, brushes and colors, when I’m not wondering in the forests.

Creating drawings, paitings, and graphics is like cooking for me, and mostly, I aim at cooking delighting eye candies to make people’s lives a bit more colorful and dreamier. I collect and store ingredients for my servings and want to make sure that the most important elements are always available at home, in me.

Sometimes I create a snack, sometimes I conjure a dessert. I mix and mingle between techniques and materials according to some process one might call institution. Sometimes I invite all my close ones for a dinner, and sometimes, I feel like inviting the whole village for a happy fest—which is fun, but also, sometimes scary and sensitizing."
