She has worked as an illustrator since 2006, and specialized in illustrating children's books in 2019. Her books have been published in both Argentina and Puerto Rico, Spain, Korea, among other countries. In 2022 she won first prize in the competition at the International Illustration Meeting of Sao Joao da Madeira, in Portugal. Her first comprehensive book will come to light, published by Editorial Destellos de Puerto Rico, later this year.

Pupé has been a teacher of illustration since 2011 at the University of Buenos Aires in the Graphic Design program. She managed to find her vocation in her professions as an illustrator and a teacher, delving into drawing as her way of being in the world. She is passionate about the history of the image and the forms of nature. She is in a constant search for new ways of ideating styles and experimenting in her artwork in order to create beautiful visuals.

Currently she works mainly in digital media, but always maintains the gestural imprint, expressiveness, and freshness of children's drawings. In her work, color always takes the center stage, achieved through the superimposition of layers and textures.
