Her work is characterized by the expressionism and Fauvism aspects, which the Artist always resorts to when expressing her inner feelings. Also her works tackles the issue of humanity and society the old conflicts between good and evil, human rights and social justice. Hence the painting became and illustration of the personal and intellectual experiences; it is also a mixture of elements and strong colors and lines vibrations which gives an impression of continuous movement.
