Born in Valencia in 1944, she trained in Barcelona at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge and began her artistic activity based on experimentation and geometric forms. In the early 1980s, she moved to the United States, where she wrote "Las Meninas", a series of in-depth studies of Velázquez's painting "Las Meninas". She followed this up with another book devoted to the Alhambra and its architecture. Her aim is to select and analyse in detail the tensions of the action, which explains her particular interest in bulls and the bullfighter's cape (the subjects of her next collection). Since 1990, she has devoted herself mainly to the recovery of artistic spaces, such as the castle of Vélez Blanco (Almeria). Since then, she has endeavoured to establish a close link between the site and her pictorial work.
Some of her works have been exhibited in museums in Madrid, Barcelona, Alava Vitoria, Granada, Sweden, Alicante and Japan.
She has taken part in numerous group exhibitions in Spain, Germany, Belgium, the United States, Italy and France, and has held solo exhibitions in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
