The creator of Dimensionalism in 1998 explores cosmic investigation into the etheric, atmic, Buddhist, spiritual and love dimension, amongst others. The result is a work which travels through different dimensions, which flows from the inside out, that looks for the vibrational intensity in its own right and as well as its causal effect. She creates energy compositions which are spiritual channellings through meditation.

On this occasion, her pictorial work is focused on peace and its positive transformational energy in the world. Her work is more subtle, with etheric colours, almost evanescent, but at the same time, within its own distinctive and expressive imprint.
The artist from Madrid, establishes in her art a clear relationship with the undoubtable contribution to peace, of the Japanese Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin, who made known to humanity the original mystical cause, possessing the three illuminated properties incarnated in the entity of his life and whose beneficial effects go beyond the three existences. He is considered the founder of the true Buddhism.
