A plastic bowl a rock, a piece of asphalt some salt, or flower soil are materials more than enough that provide the inspiration to be used as basic materials.
They reform, modify, change, give a totally new identity, new utility value to objects and materials, that some people consider merely as litter, or think that their life cycle is completed.

„The White Way“ is the artist’s way of visualizing the love of nature and all creatures. Through the splendid colours and manifold elements she encounters the essence of life. In her pictures, poetry, the real and the surreal lead a peaceful life of co-existence. The colour “white” symbolizes true spirit, pure heart and sheer peace. The Soul’s landscape revolves around the White Journey…… Like a ribbon, it wanders through serene but contemplative surroundings. Up and down it flows, crossing over the picture frame: never is its way straight, nor is it ever finished. True to the Asian painting tradition, she paints expansively, mostly from a bird’s view. This is what makes the “White Journey” her subjective illustration of the entire universe. The pleasantness and menacing, of the spiritual life is just as the outer world.
