Travelling and living in different parts of the world has given me perspective and distance about my own culture, valuing what is unique and original in each of the cultures I have encountered. This has allowed me for instance to blend my Mediterranean point of view with an oriental aesthetic.

Yes, of course there is a basic oriental inspiration in all my work, although I try to make the result a synthesis between East and West. Meditation is also part of my daily life and many times I think that painting for me is a kind of active meditation.

Silk is a wonderful medium for my painting. I simply love it because it is eclectic, it can be matte, shiny, heavy or very light, stiff or sheer. In addition to these features, when painted, each surface reacts in a different way, so for me working with silk is interesting, rewarding and fun.

I do not follow trends, I design for all women. I like to imagine that once a piece is worn the personality of the wearer becomes part of it, and the other way around too.
