Ha dedicado parte de su investigación al estudio del arte iberoamericano, aunque no de manera excluyente. Sus investigaciones se centran en el análisis e interpretación de la imagen. Su principal línea de investigación es el estudio de las “prácticas, ingenios persuasivos y retórica visual de la imagen religiosa en el periodo barroco”, así como la continuidad de prácticas y expectativas de la imagen sagrada en la modernidad. Reflejo de esto último es su línea de investigación sobre “Imagen, religión y poder en la España contemporánea”.
