The arts in your life
She has always liked all kinds of art, because she always believed that art is a way of
expressing and reframing thoughts and feelings.
As a teenager, she studied artistic drawing, making Sketches to portray the ambiguous feelings
situations of this time of her life.
At maturity, she took several amateur drama courses, directed plays and used many theatrical
techniques in the trainings and conferences she promoted throughout her career.
She wrote several essays and published the Book of Poems “Share”; And on the Kindle
platform she wrote and published the ebooks: Pingo - a surprise; Crystal - in letters; The death
of Isis; and Crime - Innocent.
In pictorial art, as a self-taught artist, in 1991 she made abstract paintings using strong and
vibrant colors. In 1995 she took a course in oil painting, producing works with floral themes. She
studied Art History and took courses in painting techniques, inspired by the great consecrated
masters, producing rereading’s of the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, William Turner,
Jean-Francois Millet, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, etc.
She created several works inspired by Renaissance, Romanticism, Impressionism, post-
impressionism, abstract expressionism, as well as works inspired by Pablo Picasso's Cubism
periods and Salvador Dali's Surrealism.
