Non-conformist and ready to join personally in initiatives that she feels are urgent in the cause of human rights, she is a pioneer in the artistic field in expressing the urgencies of the fight for the recognition of greater rights for women: tra LUILEI, a sign-symbol full of meaning , the labyrinthine paths of the Labyrinths, the silence of the Silent Books pierced by sharp nails, the irony of the Mail Art sheets and the vivid indignation of Muta Protesta, the artist searches and returns, beyond the horrors and ugliness that poison the world, the beauty that life is, however and always, capable of generating.
