The valorization of women has always been a central theme in her life, influencing her art. In her latest research, she focuses on the feminine, paying homage to the independence, magnetism, and strength of women, despite their physical fragility, and challenging cultural beliefs that still consider them inferior to men. With contemporary features, her art intensely expresses feelings, disagreements, rejections, or appreciation of the social reality in which we live, shaped by different experiences in faces, bodies, looks, and postures. Her work manages to captivate, move, and instigate the viewer.

Her portraits, known for their high expressiveness, the dramatic gaze of the subjects looking directly at the observer, and the transcendence of classical figuration limits, have been influenced by Jenny Saville, an artist who was part of the Young British Artists movement in the 1990s in England.
