“I like mystery, bizarre and eerie things,” she said in a recent interview with the online magazine wertn. “In most of my works, there\u2019s no one in the scene. I try to create an ambiance with the color palette, the elements and the composition. The whole thing creates a strange scenery where the viewer is free to imagine everything they want to in it. For me, suggesting is stronger than showing, and that\u2019s how I try to work.”\n\n\n\n

Growing up on Sailor Moon, Fist of the North Star, and Pokemon, her creations indeed seem like empty comic strips. “When I started, I didn\u2019t have preconceptions or rules,” she admitted. “I didn\u2019t have a trained eye, and no idea of what I wanted to become. There was so much to discover. I started to work in black and white because it was easier, I wasn\u2019t very interested in details. But then, I started to use bright colors and never stopped since. My work got more realistic, more detailed and more finished. Now I think I\u2019ve found my way of working and my style has become stable.”\n\n\n\n
