Eyes, the reflection of the soul
The book present the different works of the artist, painted in oil on linen or canvas, highlighting her small brush strokes for the careful details, as we can see in the eyes of the figures, through which the spectator emphasizes and feels the emotions the artist wants to reflect. From here, Kesja broadens her traits with wider and longer brush strokes, creating different versions of the painting depending on the distance it is observed. That way, we found an hyperrealist collection seen in a distant way and, as we get closer, we can appreciate the traces that conform it.

Moreover, the artist's works show mostly representations of young women, followed by animals in a country setting. From time to time, the female figures are accompanied by children’s drawings, symbolizing birds, frogs o little monsters, breaking with that realism of the portraits.
Likewise, her lasts paintings, stand out by a peculiar background in which fire is represented, giving a darker tone to her canvas. Finally, we can find several works in which flowers are the point of attention, situated on the heads of the young women, forming a crown.
