The First type of paintings is extremely cheerful, rich in form – different colours and finesse patterns – but also in the meaning; second one is meditative – by using only black and white and the topic chosen. Nurturing Mother, one of the most beautiful symbols of the catholic religion, additionally strengthened by reference to present days. Both types of paintings are linked to primitivist way of art., there are also clear accents of the borderland – the eastern folk art.

Bold, though with finesse and delicacy, sensitivity she gives her voice in the social discussion about important and current topics.
