It is a story about immersion in motherhood, about closeness, tenderness and the loss of one's former shape, but also about finding oneself anew. The canvas becomes a form of mirror, revealing successive layers of emotion, intuition, longing and strength. The creative gesture is an attempt to touch what is invisible: intuition, longing, tenderness, strength and that particular sensitivity that is born together with new life.
Motherhood is shown here as a process of purification and transformation. There is closeness in it, devotion, but also the loss of one's former shape – so that one can find oneself anew. In this journey, a young mother discovers her own femininity not as something given, but as a living, pulsating space. She permeates it anew through the experience of fertility, corporeality and creativity.
Among feeding, touch, exhaustion and fleeting moments of everyday life, the artist returns. She emerges from silence, from brief moments between one duty and another. Creation becomes her breath — a way to maintain contact with her own interior and to remind herself that beyond the role of mother, there still exists the one who wants to feel, to marvel and to be.
The paintings ephemerally intertwine sensuality with nature. Organic forms, softness and sensuality balance with darkness, the observation of depression, the shedding of old skin. Just like nature, a woman too is subject to cycles: she blooms, withers, purifies herself and is reborn.
Pleasures are therefore an invitation to pause at what is delicate and primal. To look at motherhood not only through the prism of sacrifice, but also of fullness, sensuality and delight in existence.
