Here she interacts with local and international artists from different fields and integrates into her works a new reality that she fuses in her paintings with cuttings from the Spanish school. She plays with different techniques such as painting, collage, drawing, photography, scans, and monoprints.She studies the human being as a symbol of the expression of being; she creates an emotional and visual tension through the use of thematic contrasts, of color, of biological forms versus geometric forms, all representations of an ever-changing nature.
