The history of Barcelona in the 1960s and 70s would not be the same without her photographs. Linked to Barcelona's Gauche Divine, her prolific work includes portraits of Carmen Amaya, Antonio Gades and La Chunga, among other important artists and intellectuals of the time. However, her aim was also to capture the atmosphere of the Somorrostro shacks and La Rambla.  She was bornin the heart of L’Eixample, and studied Literature in Barcelona and French Civilisation at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Upon her return, she collaborated with the progressive press during the last period of Franco's dictatorship. Cinematography is one of her great passions, and she took part in the film movement generated around the Barcelona School, which included Vicente Aranda, Jacinto Esteva and Jaime Camino. Her works are part of the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) collection. She has received a number of outstanding awards such as the Spanish National Photography Prize in 2014, which she rejected in protest against the situation of culture and education in Spain. In 2021 the central government awarded her the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts.
