She visualizes through art a particular cultural notion and image. As an activist for the Afro-Bolivian people as aesthetic and main protagonists, which have specific, unique and beautiful physical features such as skin color and hair with strong contrasts of light and dark, the artist uses materials, doors and windows and clothing used in dances such as the Saya, the Chiguanita and the Zemba, in order to metaphorically express day in and day out of the people represented. The paintings acquire their own personification through the process.
