I believe in the reality of the Holy Spirit, Mother Kundalini, in the immense Love that She has given us and that flows within each of us as Amrut, pouring into the awareness of being part of the body of the Virata.

Artworks

GRAPHITE

Series Black & White

Graphite is a long and laborious process. I use the powder, which is applied with a brush in a delicate way and the various overlaps create the different shades, thus achieving a very realistic result. With this technique I love to draw the faces of old people, with their wrinkles, which for me represent their whole life experience.

PASTEL

Series Contrasts of light

I love to experiment, using different techniques, including pastel, which allows me to achieve a realistic result in the work. I prefer mainly drawing faces, but also Nature, such as outdoors and animals. For me, drawing, like any other form of expression, allows me to enter a state of inner silence. I become one with the work I am creating.

SCULPTURES

Series Give shape to the Deities

In the course of my artistic life, I have made several works, all of them aimed at the creative process of the moment. After receiving self-realisation in '97, my way of perceiving art changed. I felt growing within me, the desire to give form to the divinities, present within each of us, to perceive their energy and to feel realised when I saw the finished work. I mostly let myself be guided by my emotions. My hands run over the wet piece of clay and as it begins to take shape, a sense of peace and joy grows within me. Air, water, fire, earth and ether are the elements present in the Universe and in all life forms, and the elements themselves take part in the creative process that starts at the swadhistan chakra and then materialises before my eyes.

BAS-RELIEFS

Series Love for India

In the bas-reliefs I make, my love for India, from which I draw inspiration, shines through. Even as a young girl,I have always been attracted to this wonderful country rich in spirituality and with Sahaja Yoga I realised who I really am and the love and deep sense of Union that I feel,is reflected in the work that I create.

CERAMICS

Series Raku ceramics

Raku was discovered in Japan and its meaning is: joy of living - pleasant - relaxed. The object is fired at between 900 and 1000 degrees for about three hours, after which it is taken out of the kiln with long tongs while still glowing, and depending on what you want to achieve, you put the piece into reduction or oxidation. After that, you stop the enamel transformation process by immersing the piece in cold water. In this way, you obtain beautiful colours and, above all, unique pieces.
