As a cultural journalist with a background as an artist, she is always seeking for creativity from multiple perspectives. Her philosophy is to sew knowledge approached by different disciplines: politics, literature, philosophy, mathematics, medicine, forensics, economy, mathematics [...].

The most representative results were “El error a través del prisma” ( A mistake through the prism) and Gestaltung. They were shown in 2011, in Salón Cano in the Art Museum of the National University of Colombia and in 2013 in “El Parqueadero” at the Banc of the Republic Museum of Bogotá, Colombia.

That same year she received an award of Criticism and Journalism for the Arts, by the District Institution for the Arts (IDARTES) and the Center of Journalism of Los Andes University (CEPER)
