Characters and environments in Barnola-Otaola’s drawings can be fictitious or the result of remembering situations relating to an event or a particular experience. The world surrounding her acquires significance from the moment in which, for example, nature completely impresses her sensually, as the artist has said in various interviews. Indeed, she seems to absorb from life, from her environment, images that are vital for her and that she later reuses, reworks, and integrates into a new reality.
