Years of practice in applied arts had rekindled the desire to be
the complete master of her own work, to conceive an image from beginning
to end in a style that would later reveal definite theatrical elements,
but which also offered ample space for her admiration for the old masters
and related artistic trends.
A period of intensive study followed. On top of her broad experience in composition
and design, which she accumulated over the years, she now had the opportunity
to develop her oil painting technique . It was hardly surprising
that this should be the technique of her choice, given her admiration for Dutch
masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Russian master Repin, or the English painter
Sargent.
