Member of the national Association of Writers and artist of Cuba. Self-taught, from a very young age she felt a passion for photography and developed a personal search that focuses on the destinies of contemporary human been facing loneliness and lack of communication. She is interested in various everyday situations, as well as longings, nostalgia, desires and frustrations. The photographic medium offers her the possibility of having a more direct relationship with the context and at the same time more intimate, being relevant in her creative processes a view from her personal experiences.

In her artistic proposals we can observe different means to develop her ideas, such as photographic installation, sculpture, performance, happenings, video art, among others. Her series have been unfolding from questions that at times become critical and then move towards a more intimate lyricism. The agile, daring and deeply human gaze of this photographer places us at a point of no return that delves into the very essences of the nature of the current times. Her constant search for her roots has led her to proposals such as Karoline's World, Return to Turieno and The Unfinished Journey.
