She has been selected as one of the finalists of Arte Laguna Art Prize, Venice in 2018. In her artistic practice, she explores the relationship between social consensus on moral values and the pursuit of desire or pleasure. Portraits being her main practice, figures in her work are expressed with the use of vivid colour tones and expressive yet faint brushstrokes.
