Biography

which can only be represented through abstraction and marked by the slow succession of layers of fabric playing with the contrast of color and textures, passing from the two-dimensionality of fabrics to the three-dimensionality of padded tubes, making her work a hybrid halfway between patchwork and plasticism.
