In 2016 she completed the master's degree in Art at École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon after the graduation in arts from the Esad.cr.
Fabrics, foams, sewing threads, paper crops, found objects, stored things, collected words, screenshots, leaflets, posters, are among the materials used in a language that aims to arouse muffled feelings, to talk about relationships - with oneself, with others, with one’s own body.
There is an interest in repetition and reference to the everyday objects and words, which allows for a more immediate closeness to the work, even if there are more layers to understand, after the approach and the feeling of intimacy.
It might tell us about love, loneliness, oppression, passiveness, in an either delicate or ironic and humorous way. You can't always make a separation between delicate and ironic.
It’s a poetical, sensitive and mean work that hits where it hurts.

Completou em 2016 o mestrado em Art na École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon depois de licenciada em artes plásticas pela Escola Superior de Artes e Design de Caldas da Rainha.
Tecidos, espumas, linhas, recortes de papel, objetos encontrados, coisas guardadas, palavras recolhidas, screenshots, bulas, cartazes, estão entre os materiais usados numa linguagem que pretende despertar sentimentos abafados, falar de relações - consigo mesmo, com os outros, com o próprio corpo.
Há um interesse pela repetição e pela referência ao objeto quotidiano e às palavras quotidianas, que permite uma proximidade mais imediata com a obra, mesmo que haja mais camadas para compreender, depois da aproximação e do sentimento de intimidade.
Pode contar-nos sobre amor, solidão, opressão, passividade, tanto numa forma delicada como irónica e humorística. Nem sempre é possível fazer uma separação entre o delicado e o irónico.
É um trabalho poético, sensível e maldoso que está atento às feridas e entretido a pôr lá o dedo.
