Conceptually, María Nava's work focuses on her own psyche, using figurative techniques as a means of projecting an introspective and unconscious symbolic content. Her meticulous and obsessive technique starts from the opposite of spontaneity, from an obsessive perfectionism in the inquiry in the Self, in the deepening of the obscure and fragile part of the human.

A constant of her work have been the self-portraits, the spaces without contexts, the bodies placed in an empty at the time that defy their own identity.
