[1] Upon moving to Paris in 1928 with her family, Battistini began four years of studies at the Académie Julian.

She worked in her own studio between 1936 and 1939, a period that was marked by an impressionist trend, although during this time she also dabbled in the Cubist style.

[2] In 1940, Battistini returned to Venezuela and her friendship with the painter and sculptor Alejandro Otero began, whom he would help her upon their arrival in Paris with Jesús Rafael Soto years later.

Her house in Paris was the meeting place for the group called Los disidentes, made up of Venezuelan artists who were supporters of the abstractionist style and were against the plastic canon that was in force in Venezuela, where landscape, anecdotal and indigenous styles predominated.

[4] Battistini participated in a group exhibition organized in Paris by the Denise René Gallery in 1953; here, she was together with important artists of the abstract-geometric avant-garde.
