We find ourselves in front, of the artists own discourse - the small objects of very little value installed inside the large transparent boxes and the variegated images reflect a great variety of significance inviting us to open interpretation and meditation. The dice - an object of decision for vitory or defeat - in innocent childhood games or in the risk of adult life are now silent and still as is the intimate of the artist, never again can they be protagonist of our destiny.

Milena Cubracovich

The playing cards and the dice are, in particular, the metaphors of uncertainty and destiny, but they also represent ability and fortune in all "games". I often discover and elaborate, through art, the difficult moments of human existance and growth, so I intentionally exalt then though the eyes and disposition of a child.

Letizia Cortini

Initially what strikes most in these works is the material component so amusing and decorative - a collage of tangled wires, playing cards, old photographs and cuttings from magazines recalling the spirit of surrealism or dadaism.
. But on looking more attentively the works reveal a much deeper layer of thought. [...] consequence of personal reflection often with a stream of melancholy for the life, love, family and woman's conquest and role in society. In the language of visual art the artist's reflection has found her means of expression, her territory to play and work on.
