Grown up in Italy, she has dual nationality Italian and Greek. She lives and works in Brussels since 1982. The themes she develops are communication, action, purpose, exchange of intentions, people in the street coming and going, talking walking, searching a goal. Consequently all subject are mostly around the person, either as a portrait or in group. Even when the person is not represented she tries to give the feeling that it has just gone, or it is about to appear.
She privileges painting with oil colours and in the recent years with beeswax and pigments. She investigated the ancient technique of encaustic and makes her own colours.
