At first, Belleza's paintings were dark and sombre, later progressing into wildly colorful and detailed work on folk genre, including women vendors, potters , and peasants. Figurative works placed emphasis on her subjects physical strength and appearance. Colos has remained of primary importance. Her debt to Roualt is undisputable, both in the manner she draws her figures and in the way she frames them against her backgrounds. her colors, in almost relief-like use of layered impasto, throb with livid greens and yellows out of surrounding blacks and reds.
