Her work is documented in a catalogue raisonné (Caroline Corribras, 2012) and referenced at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF); her prints regularly appear at auction and in specialized galleries. Recurring subjects include landscapes, urban scenes, nudes, and stylized compositions, characterized by a legible graphic style and strong contrasts. She signed her work "Pehem." This abstract composition, inspired by Venice, features overlapping planes and vertical/horizontal rhythms evoking facades, reflections, and the lagoon. The nuanced palette plays with contrasts of light and water. The texture creates reliefs and transparencies for a sensitive, contemporary, and decorative effect. This signed work is ready to hang and ideal for a living room, entryway, or office, adding a touch of poetry and modernity. This piece has an attribution mark,
