So one should come from the functional to the pure fantasy motive, through which one can be inspired variously.About her way of working:my main focus is photography with extreme digital editing processing. This means that I am creating pictures and graphics from architectural, natural and abstract subjects with often surreal components. My favourite themes are front faces of modern buildings or parts of them, which I'm digitally editing and finally changing it into an abstract digital creation.
