Speaking by the paintings and drawings, she brings up the time traveling discussion. The images of the past in her works are fluid and fuzzy, they are refracted through subsequent experiences and present mood, giving birth to the memories of the future. True-to-life vision, deep reflection, recalling, and recreating the fragments lost in memory are combined into impressionistic and abstract painting. Representation of impressions immediacy and memory inconstancy is also empowered by special technique: linseed oil instead of solvent leaves a place for unpredictability, chance, and with it, life itself.
