Her illustrations focus on relationships, gender, and the emotional dynamics of contemporary life. Often rooted in a feminist perspective, her work captures moments of tension, vulnerability, and quiet conflict — what is felt but not openly expressed.
Combining analog and digital techniques, she creates textured, vibrant images with a strong emotional and narrative presence.
