She prefers the oil technique.
The main themes of her works are Juggler, Living Nature and Codes:

  • in the “Giocoliere” project she follows a path based on the simplification of shapes, on the formal research of the fluidity and essentiality of lines with large fields of colour.
  • In the formal context of the “Natura Viva” (“Still-life Alive”) project, there are two paths “Anima Mundi” and “Femminile”: in the “Anima Mundi” works the various characters are made up of fruit, vegetables, objects that they come alive on the canvas and show their different stages of awareness, their suffering or participation in comedy and drama, with the liveliness and recklessness of adolescents or the severity and gravity of thoughtful adults. The formal research focuses on the sharpness of colors and shapes, the plasticity of objects on vibrant and moving backgrounds, simplification. In “Feminine” the subjects are women, sometimes fruit-women, other times simply faces of different ages and awarenesses, surrounded by symbols, in the form of animals or more or less evident objects, mirroring a state of mind or a passage meaning experienced by the character.
  • In the "Codes" project She explores the signs we use to represent the world starting from the most basic of all, namely geometry, the part of mathematics that studies space. Real objects, geometric representations, mathematical formulas, animated objects, mirror each other, and push us to ask: what is the symbol and what is the "real" object?

She published the “Natura Viva” catalog for Acca Edizioni, Rome, 2015; and his works are present in “Artistic Sensations”, Third Volume for Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori, 2015, ISBN 978-88-6052-601-4, and in “Expo Wiki Arte 2015 with presentation by Philippe Daverio and Giorgio Grasso for Acca Edizioni, Rome, 2015, ISBN 978-88-98982-06-6.
