The critic’s early attention that she obtained, her self-taught formation, her proximity with older foreign artists and the initial launching of her career in France, allowed her to stay aside of the generational confrontation that, by the end of fifties and early sixties, prevailed in the scope of the Mexican visual arts. That also gave her the chance to participate, on an unspecific and somewhat marginal way, in the exhibitions that grouped diverse visions and tendencies, and to develop a style quite differentiated from other contemporary artists, loaded with humanist solidarity and a noticeably dark feeling.
In spite of her increasing success and her expanding knowledge of different media —from painting to drawing and sculpture— her alcoholism accentuated almost to the point of truncating her career. Nevertheless, after an intense rehabilitation process on the early seventies, she returned with a new vision that earn her, in the course of the following years, exhibitions in the main museums of Mexico (Palacio de Bellas Artes, Museum of Modern Art, Chopo's Museum and others) and the recognition of collectors in several countries.
From her first individual exhibition, in 1955, and throughout her more than five decades work, she has explored diverse media, from the traditional ones to some approaches to newer genres, like kinetic art
