Sculptures 2017 - 2018
Dark Jewels
An entire universe, almost like a fairytale, a contemporary gothic tale in which the heroes are children seeking a way out from the dark and gloomy metropolis they live in. This way out is to be found within their thriving fantasy world.Under the light of the pc or the television, the cartoons and the plastic toys create a story of their own, dreams of their own. Although melancholy escorts them hope co exists in their dreams.
Optimism evident in their eyes; their wide-open eyes restlessly seek the brightness of this or the other world. The woods of our fairytales used to be bright, now forests, trees, lakes, elves and fairies are somewhat darker. However, children, the grownups of tomorrow wish to build their houses and cities with colours make life brighter.
Maybe dreams are no longer in the dark yet, only for these children wishing to dream with eyes wide open.

They invade in the fairy-tales world, take shape, distribute the roles and invite the spectator to create his own urban story. The artistic juxtaposition of images is accomplished by the creation of colorful, wood-cut figures in a fairy-tale environment with a strong chess pattern.
With strong references on the aesthetic of comics and graffiti, the artist creates her own pop-art figures, which she classifies in a dramatic-surreal world. In the landscape compositions dominates a sense of fairytale, which is animated and “coloured” by the female figure which prevails, in different roles. From woman-child to woman-female, who colours the black and white world around her. The red, blue, yellow or green, glittered clothes of the female figures bring more in mind the theatrical costumes than the clothes of our times.
It is a world that seems to come entirely from fairy-tale – a contemporane gothic fairy-tale, in which the heroes search for ways out to the imagination and the mythical atmosphere of the towers, the castles and a magical landscape. The way out is in a dreamy world, which is crated by their imagination!
The melancholy in the gaze seems to accompany these colourful stories, the colourful worlds, the dreams and to shade the hope that emerges of the vivid bright colours.
The optimism underlies in this childish-adult universe, in the wide opened eyes that search avidly the brightness of this or another world. The forests, the rivers, the lagoons, the elves, the fairies, the trees are somehow dark.
The heroines of today and tomorrow want to add some colour, to make life brighter, to preserve the dream in a world that looks like a giant chessboard.
