Working with ceramics as a broad discipline which includes design, sculpture and painting. The volumetry of the created objects, speak of the container, of the object, fleeing from the tradition of the turned piece. As a support for colour, developing on its surface, the painting expands to the bottom of the frame. This game, creates a dialogue between background and form, between content and container, reflecting on the boundaries between disciplines, which have always been part of her work.
