After the discovery of Georges Seurat, she abandoned sculpture for painting, and developed from 1980 and until 1989 the Tramaturgies inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and School of Fontainebleau.[5] From 1984 to 1990, she began the series Blancs volants and titled after words of the poet Shitao.
