My artistic practice explores the interaction between digital technologies and material practices. It is deeply rooted in my architectural background and my fascination with geometry and spatial perception.

My images translate immaterial concepts into form, shaped by my perspective as a woman and mother. I work interdisciplinarily, moving between architecture, textiles, ceramics, and, more recently, increasingly into printmaking. I deliberately use techniques such as screen printing and relief printing to create a dialogue: between the controlled precision of digital tools and the traces of the analog, the irregularities of the human hand. I combine these processes with painting, drawing, and embroidery.

Recurring, simple forms, often oscillating between symmetry and variation, form the basis of my visual language. From this tension arise visual compositions that negotiate the fragile balance between order and unpredictability and invite viewers to engage with this sensitive dialogue.
