I have strived to develop my talent and refine it well through continuous training and learning about the experiences of others, as I was not able to complete my studies at the Institute of Art Education because of my own circumstances. Therefore, I followed my course and I managed to make from the environmental remnant three-dimensional sculptured models, with themes that simulate the reality in which we live, in addition to paintings in oil colors, some of them with pencils and charcoal”.

Regarding the topics of her paintings, she said, “Most of my paintings focused on reality and landscapes, and my paintings are varied in oil, charcoal and embossed.

On the importance of talent and academic study for the artist, she said, “Academic study is necessary and important for the artist to refine and develop his talent, but talent is the basis just as a talented person can acquire many opportunities through which he can reach what he aspires to”.
