poetry
Water, ships, ways to go, upside down feelings, new discovered landscapes, circles and illusions of the forms, colours and its magic. Her great-grandfather was French and her great-grandmother Japanese. Their first daughter married a Farinati, an Italian from a family of painters. She get inspired by them all. She creates paintings with her camera, pieces of art. And because of her continuous search for beauty and also because she is also a writer, her images are poetry.
