In her Games of infinity series she attempts to re-approach biomorphism in visual art creation. Biomorphism is an art movement of modernism that focuses on the useof organic forms and pictures with shapeless and spherical formations. Biomorphic forms are abstract but, at the same time, they refer to animal and plant formations and the human body. Her works are formed through the juxtaposition and delimitation of colorful shapes, which are created spontaneously in the painting. The point of this spontaneous process is to highlight the fluidity and transparency of the material (watercolor).
