Her pictorial work is currently rediscovering the intense color reflected to the expectator, giving room for the visual strenght of her work, The optical effects are present in her paintings and they are the result of the gestual element that articulates the compositions and shapes. However, the gesture leaves the randomness, present in her previous work, showing now a direction, a sense. The fusion between color and line, more poingant every time, creates an atmosphere of harmony in which the musicality and rithm of the paintings are evident.
