Merging Art and Strategy
For me, an artistic approach represents the intersection of all the work I do and my guiding vision. In my professional practice, I work across different creative disciplines, combining corporate design, branding and other fields to transform ideas into meaningful purposes that shape identities. Through my workshops, I mentor and guide in art and aesthetics, focusing on strategy ans systems that deliver tangible results and sustainable growth.
I view the management work I do as a creative act: it gives direction, transforms vision into action and fosters growth. Overall, I aim to encourage personal growth, resilience and a positive outlook.
Innovation, interdisciplinarity and independence guide my approach, grounded in curiosity and open-mindedness.​​
The Female and the Feminine
My artistic practice investigates cultural and aesthetic constructs of femininity, examining both its natural and artificially constructed expressions. At the heart of this exploration is the portrayal of women, which amplifies their presence and significance within the visual narrative of the feminine.
I draw inspiration from history and nature, reflecting on a wide spectrum of appearances associated with the concepts of ‘female’ and ‘feminine’.​ Much of my work engages with themes of fashion and design, including the adornment and concealment of the body. I am fascinated by these ideas because they are deeply intertwined with identity and gender constructs, as well as with the sociocultural evolution of women in society.
