Her artistic style is characterized by a vibrant color palette and compositions that draw from influences that include Afrocentric motifs and classical European art.
Through her work and active dialogues on race, gender, and identity, she has become a voice in discussions surrounding representation in contemporary art.
In 2017, Rosales posted an image, The Creation of God, on social media, of her first completed work for her solo exhibition Black Imaginary To Counter Hegemony.
This image was created to show that White subjects are the standard in classic art while challenging the viewer to consider why that practice is commonly accepted.
One of her many works included The Birth of Oshun, an oil-on-canvas painting, which reimagines Sandro Botticelli's work, The Birth of Venus, by placing Oshun, the Yoruba goddess of fertility, sensuality, and prosperity, in a sea shell surrounded by black angels, in contrast to Botticelli's painting where a white Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, is in a sea shell surrounded by white angels.
