“It’s a way to expose my work,” she explains to Instagram. “It shows the common thread of my art — the link that operates between painting and drawing, forms and colours. Most of the time, I am not afraid to show my work unfinished, because I think people appreciate sincerity. It forces me to renew myself.”
