She seems to dissolve in water — or does the water itself become her? The face of a girl with long eyelashes is painted in close-up, but surrounded by energetic strokes of pink, turquoise, and blue that create an effect of underwater glow and movement. This is not so much a portrait as a state — the edge between reality and dream, reality and myth. The artist balances between figuration and abstraction, leaving space for the viewers imagination. Such a work will become a mysterious accent in an interior, attracting the gaze and stirring the imagination.
