Although she has experimented with many forms of art, such as watercolour and collage, photos and video, she prefers oil on canvas. She understands that the aesthetic experience is above all a mean for getting to know the world. Her contemporary pictorial investigation involves a deep analysis of the feelings and sensations that occur from the actions of humans (abstract portrait). In this way, Debora creates from two basic elements in her paintings: colours and movement. The paintings she depicts partake in a parallel analysis between polychrome and colour. To her, colour represents the life force and black and white bring realism to the work. Movement symbolizes the search for sensations, the transmission of feelings and the desire to communicate to others her own experiences as well as discovering oneself through the creative process.
