"Винаги съм се интересувала от вътрешния свят на човека и неговият израз чрез тялото. Състояния близо до театъра, но не „театрални”. Психологически наситени сцени, но не и кадри от филм. Състояние на фугурата, изведено до знак." - Я.П.

"За мен чувствата са най важното нещо в живота и основният обект за работата ми. Израстнала съм в театрално семейство, завършила съм илюстрация, специалност също много свързана с литературата. Първите ми работи са на литературна тема – графика / офорт върху поезия. С които участвам в над 30 биеналета на графиката." - Я.П.
