[4] Her photography led her to explore lucha libre, and she spent a lot of time getting to know the luchadores (wrestlers).

Her parents did not like the views of the school and sent her to work under a Catholic professor named José Suárez Olvera, who painted murals for the Church of San Francisco.

When Goeritz gave up teaching, he asked Grobet to be his assistant while he worked on stained glassed windows for the México City Cathedral.

She ended up failing, however, because the photography faculty did not like that she altered the landscape and strayed away from keeping it purely documentary.

[citation needed] Kati Horna introduced Grobet to the world of photography, though the main influences in her early career were Mathias Goeritz, Gilberto Aceves Navarro, El Santo and others.

[7] Grobet studied as a painter in Mexico for some time and then took a trip to Paris in 1968; it changed her life and the way that she viewed the art world.

She spent some time working at a jazz concert, controlling lighting and kinetic projections.

[11] With her participation in this group, she was able to revitalize photography in Mexico,[citation needed] which led to a movement called the Grupos.

She wanted to relate to indigenous people using her artistic initiative, so they made costumes and scenery of their own and she then took their photos.

[13] Grobet spent thirty years devoted to taking pictures of the luchadores and studying their way of life.

[2][14] She spent time photographing lucha libre wrestlers inside and outside of the ring, both in their masks, but also in their own homes.

[15] Influenced greatly by Mathias Goeritz, the Polish sculptor from Gdańsk, and by Gilberto Aceves Navarro, a Mexican master of art murals, who were her teachers, Grobet worked on pictures of El Santo, one of the most important Mexican wrestlers, and a hero of lucha libre who starred in more than 50 films.

She is not scared to employ different (sometimes contradictory) languages available to her to speak of her particular experience and standpoint, thus sacrificing formal purism.

She wanted to show that the lucha libre is important to the culture of Mexico, with links back to the time of the Aztecs.
