Having completed her studies in fine arts and music, she received various artist-in-residence awards in London, Paris and Berlin, and was “artiste étoile” at the Lucerne Festival 2011. Alongside her activities in international exhibitions, she is a concert performer, soloist, composer and conductor of her own works at major festivals in Europe, North America, Latin America and Canada.
