About this artwork
This work explores the tension between the social mask and the body that supports it. The persona, necessary for social existence, sometimes imposes a prolonged effort that leaves little room for direct expression.
Faced with this constraint, the body develops repetitive, discreet, almost invisible gestures — not to free itself, but to maintain balance.
The gesture depicted here is a regulatory gesture, rooted in an ancient bodily memory. It does… not tell a story, it reproduces a mechanism.
Through deliberately smooth and restrained oil painting, the artist avoids any dramatization. The tension remains present, without resolution, inscribed in the repetition itself.

Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation and integration of the Shadow, in the sense of Carl Gustav Jung. The body becomes the visible stage for psychic and perceptual tensions, revealing
Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation, the integration of the Shadow, and the states of vulnerability linked to becoming oneself. Flesh becomes the visible terrain of an intimate passage, where psychic tensions, sensory perception, and presence crystallize in the pictorial matter.
