Most of her work concentrates on the reinterpretation of myths. Religious history, mythology, Flemish primitives painters and also mannerism provide both the varied sources of her inspiration and the raw materials for artistic explorations. Pigalle produces hybrid photographs in different series, mainly dedicated to the art of portraiture, that combine the contemporary with references to ancient art.[ citation needed ]
