about
THE exhibit:

This exhibition reflects transformation through stages of growth, identity, and rebirth. Each piece explores how change shapes us, using organic textures, warm colors, and symbolic elements like butterflies, honeycombs, and roots.

Through my exhibition, you will see how the female figure is highlighted as a symbol of strength, transformation, and emotional depth.

about the Artist

I am a visual storyteller and my canvases are territories where nature and femininity intertwine like deep roots. My art emerges from a need to explore the intimate bond between women and nature, a connection that not only beautifies but also imprisons.

I am fascinated by how our bodies, as women, carry within them the ability to create life, a biological virtue that often becomes a mirror of our emotions. In my work, abstract and

figurative forms merge to reveal how our biological virtues are both a source of power and an invisible prison.

take a closer look:

I explore motherhood not only as a miracle but also as an experience that sometimes makes us feel trapped. Through lines, textures, and colors, I capture that duality: the beauty and the burden, the life that blooms, and the identity that struggles not to fade.

During this artistic residency, I wish to dive deep into this visual dialogue between women and nature, between body and mind. I aspire for each piece to reveal fragments of this connection, serving as a mirror for those who have also felt that prison and that freedom coexisting within us.

 

My art is my voice, my scream, and my whisper—a continuous exploration of feminine nature in all its dimensions.
