She was a brilliant painter, really an exceptional artist, and she suffered a lot of pain. She'd been in a care accident that injured her pelvis and spine, and although she initially seemed to recover from her injuries, her body was really broken beyond repair. She had numerous operations and amputations, none of which did her any good, but she continued to paint. At the end, critics point out, her work became looser, hastier, almost careless, probably because of all the painkillers she had to take. All she could paint was still life's of fruits and vegetables. Even so, she insisted upon referring to these as naturaleza viva instead upon referring to these as naturaleza viva instead of naturaleza muerta. At the very end her attempts at painting consisted of only a few days.
