She builds monumental sculptures or heroic reliefs in a realist vocabulary, conferring dynamism and force to the epic of the group scenes, taking inspiration especially from the historical context of the autochthonous medievalism. The non-figurative level is grasped with a special attention to the expressivity and equilibrium of the volumes, obtained, when required, by speculating the suggestion of movement. Her plastic art (small or oversized) is made from traditional media.
