Looking at it superficially the art is genderless, because in the creative process you are not conscious about your gender. I do not try to adjust myself in any way to deal with it; I feel very comfortable with myself. However, deep down inside I know, that as a woman, my emotions bring me to my art. As Paul Cézanne said: “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Art is in harmony parallel with nature. Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” My women’s emotions inspire my imagination to create harmoniously with nature.
