".. unique pieces that hold human energy " 
"Anto is a conceptual artist who explores the connection between human energy, spirituality, and art. Her performances during exhibitions represent chapters of a broader project: positioning her MENHIRS in various parts of the world to weave a positive energy network that connects the artworks and the people. During these performances, the audience is invited to actively participate, imprinting their own secret phrases, charged with energy and positive vibrations, onto the works. These merge with the artist's essence, giving life to the final piece. The pieces, placed on the ground, are previously inscribed by the artist with ancient legends, early 20th-century narratives, and scientific texts, then concealed under layers of enamel. Each piece is chosen by the audience based on the energy it emanates, (reinforcing the connection between words and the artistic gesture.) The MENHIRS, functioning as antennas, channel the energy of the participants. Similar to ancient menhirs that marked  vital energy points on Earth, Anto's works act as catalysts of human energy, transforming each space into a crossroads of emotional and spiritual connections, weaving an invisible yet palpable bond between the art and those who experience it."
