Apioneer of this technique, she defied all conventions and all acade- mic rules. She thus wove a true and intimate relationship between shapes and colors.
Her painting is abstract and yet the beauty of nature emerges in her paintings which evoke cliffs, seasides and colorful beaches.
Her works were often judged too soft and too feminine by her contemporaries but she demonstrated that art in its abstraction can exist far from all forms of cynicism and coldness.
In her sculptures, she was able to imprint this roundness and this carnal musicality which marks all her creations imbued with the power and freedom of the sacred feminine.
