In Los Rostros Ocultos The Hidden Faces Contreras' work explores the relationships between tradition, identity and pop culture, incorporating techniques like acrylic, oil and collage into her pieces. Growing up in the United States and Mexico, provided her a rich palette of imagery, as well as that from other cultures. As in most of her work, there is an element of nostalgia present in its layers, sometimes reminiscing about childhood or adolescence or even a certain culture and its traditions.

The use of collaged material such as origami paper, magazine and comic book cut-outs, to name a few, provide a palette of colors and textures for the subject's surroundings. As these pieces are worked, the patterns and colors of the printed material come together in a sort of puzzle in which the painted figures emerge.
