Biografia
Young visual artist whose practice investigates the relationship between abstraction, symbolism, and contemporary gesture-based painting.
Working primarily with mixed media, her work integrates acrylic painting, pencil drawing, and digital interventions. Her artistic research focuses on the expressive potential of the mark and the physicality of the pictorial gesture, exploring painting as an intuitive yet structured visual language.
Her work operates within an abstract framework while maintaining strong symbolic references. Central to her visual vocabulary are reinterpreted iconographic elements such as the Sacred Heart and the Hand of Fatima, employed not as devotional symbols but as universal forms capable of conveying emotion, protection, and inner force. These motifs are treated as compositional and aesthetic devices, bridging historical imagery with contemporary abstraction.
Artistic Research and Practice
The artist’s methodology emphasizes process, layering, and material interaction. Acrylic paint is applied through gestural movements and stratified surfaces, while pencil and drawing elements introduce structure and rhythm. Digital interventions extend the physical image into a hybrid space, allowing for subtle alterations and compositional refinement. This multidisciplinary approach supports a visual language defined by intensity, movement, and symbolic resonance.
