In her work she is shaping the atmosphere and
emotions she experiences so
that the memories become tangible. The
materials, the craft and the unique are
characteristic.
Sacred Species
Each and every one of my Sacred Species reflects the undeniable power of Catholicism. And confronts the viewer with both the splendor of religious art and the totalitarian character of the Catholic Church. I depict this schism between power and submission by using the same iconography and materials that recur in religious art.
A concept in which icons, muses reincarnate
through the creation of the artist. Life after
death is a metaphysical concept, which means
that the consciousness of a man does not end
with death, but continues in some form after
dying. The artist gives shape to this concept and
led by her intuition she seeks the right materials
and textures to portray the personality of the
Muse, so that it can inspire others. They are the
image of death, yet they contain the breath of
life. The great mystery and beauty of creation.
It’s all about story telling.
In this spiritual concept is the immortalization
of yourself. In an interaction with a live person
the artist creates, by means of this process,
his/her own after life skull. Like the ancient
crystal skulls, they can help each of us to acces
other levels of our consciousness, which many
of us today have forgotten how to use.
Your soul becomes a work of art.
