Each painting is an instant of tightrope walking, of an impossible balance between realities where the material and tangible and the transcendental are unfolding and coexisting simultaneously. (Credits: Gallery ONKAF)
The artworks represent meeting points where, thanks to chanting, the spiritual path, sacred traditions, spiritual masters, prayers, or intimate whispers to the divine, open up gaps and communicate both realities in the eternal quest towards the Absolute. (Credits: Gallery ONKAF)

“My art investigation has always been linked to my personal life, worries, and interests, and it has been evolving and changing with me too," she said. (Credits: Gallery ONKAF)
"For many years, the main focus was the understanding of the human condition, and my studies revolve around portraying daily life and above all the empathetic bond," the artist added. (Credits: Gallery ONKAF)
"I travelled and represented different cultures in the search of that common ground of innate emotions and motivations that we all shared as human beings," she concluded. (Credits: Gallery ONKAF)
