Critical Review:
Her pictures are recognized by the manner creation: the distribution of great chromatic spots strives for balance, monumentalism, while the nimble suppleness of unabashed touches and the expression of the lines, reveal the hot-blooded principle of the act of creation. The emotional originality of the plastic vision appears from the collision of these heterogeneous feelings.
