About the work

She creates the atmosphere, she constructs the picture from within, like an architect building the frame of a structure. The near and the distant plans create an infinite perspective.

Adam Kilian,set designer

My prints are usually the result of printing more than one layer of paint on top of another, on the same sheet of paper. They gain colour and texture. Traditional printmaking is a long process of transforming a plain metal plate into the reflection of one’s imagination. You might lose a lot on the way, but you may win much more.
