Giving form to the invisible
An artistic exploration of spirituality, the Divine Light and the feminine aspect of Being.
THE RESEARCH
My work starts from a question: how does the invisible become sentient?
Inspired by mystical traditions, I create figures in which the Light accompanies and dialogues with the subject.
It is not about illustrating a belief, but about reaching the inner experience, the presence, the Light that escapes language and that takes on the feminine aspect of Being.

A multi-faceted practice
Painting • Illustration • Photography • Video
Additional visual mediums to deepen the same research through different means of observation, also allowing to humanize the process more or less and to materialize different layers.
Thus the dialogue takes place between the creations of the different media.
