Rojo studied at the Tanagra ceramics studio, at the School of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Geography and History at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, at the School of Arts and Crafts and at the studio of Oscar Manesi. A grant from the Fundación Juan March allowed her to complete a master in painting and printmaking at the Pratt Institute in New York. Her time in New York was critical in her search for a personal painterly language, in which one can detect the influence of artists like Barnett Newman and Rothko. She also received a grant from the Institute of International Education of Denver and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Her work strives to fuse figuration and abstraction. The arch, curve and angle, together with forms borrowed from the real world, are constants in Rojo’s practice. She also makes use of pyramids, geodesic domes, mastabas and tombstones, many of which are pure abstractions of synthesised and schematised architectural elements. Despite her painting’s geometric leaning, it also has a strong emotional content, replete with evocations and sensuousness.
