Her preferred method was the pastel. In a synopsis of Argentine painting, this artist is located in the period from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism. In her portraits, either pastel or oil, she made a passage between the background figure, achieving a very interesting atmosphere. It is a painting of desaturated dyes in high values with a propensity to the delicate. Her Portrait of My Father is one of the most accomplished works. She did not propose to please, but let herself be driven by emotion. She adopted for it the technique called puntillismo. Her friend Adela García Salaberry, poet born and deceased in Bernal, defined her as La Pintora de Almas (Painter of Souls) in her book Por Televisión Argentina, 1960.
