Since 2013 she has participated in open calls, prizes and exhibitions in different countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Mexico, Montenegro, USA, etc), and in 2018, she won the prize Premio Fondo de Adquisición de Pintura “Antonio López García”, in Certámenes Artísticos “Ciudad de Tomelloso”, in Spain.
In 2014, she started a project titled “O Nu Enquanto Pretexto” (The Nude as a Pretext) that have the naked male body as its primary object. This choice of object has given rise to different reflections, especially those questioning the roles of both sexes in iconographic representations of nudity. This project has still been developed and includes a series of paintings and drawings.
