She produced realist works and was particularly keen to represent urban spaces from old Madrid, in an impressive array of ochre tones, outside, in front of doors and façades. Behind close doors is, however, the title of her memoirs, published seven years before she passed away. In her memoirs, she reflects on life and art. Her prose shows an artist of great character, strong-willed and persevering, sure of her vocation and certain that she could not turn her back away on it.
