Her works are characterized by a strong color palette that explore the tension between figuration and abstraction. The artist's works depict plants, palm trees, and fruits in dreamscapes. Sol Calero's works often draw from intimate memories, from travels to her native Venezuela, or come from her personal family chronicles. In her exhibitions, the artist often combines paintings of natural motifs with installations that highlight vernacular architecture and related social customs.
