My work focuses mainly on the female figure, representing various facets in a typically enigmatic, mysterious and anonymous way, never showing the full figure. Without the surrounding environment, the viewer is led to imagine a story for each character.

Duma's work shows women of today and other times with the particularity of not showing the complete image, generating mystery and anonymity.
Her characters are full of glamour, they're innocent and provocative, fragile and strong; dichotomies present in feminine behavior but also in human behavior in general.
Like frames of 35mm film, her paintings full of visual beauty and strength are suspended
moments that each person can conclude.
