Her favourite technique is to use allusions to the world’s masterpieces of painting in her works. In the presented picture we can guess "Snow Hunters" Peter Bruegel and Infanta Margaret, a favorite model of Diego Velázquez. The term "allusion" itself means "play, joke, ridicule". The artist plays with the audience, dressing the Infanta in pink skates and handing a music player.
