Eleonor

After studying art at high school I graduated in Psychology.

I exploit the possibilities offered by painting to instinctively capture the fluidity and transformation of bodies. I prefer to work with oil paints, which are best for blending colors together and representing liquefied figures. Bright with bold colors and decorative patterns, my paintings depict women grappling with the anxieties, desires, fears and aspirations of our time.
