In 2014, she first came to media attention when she exposed her genitals at the Musée d'Orsay in front of Gustave Courbet's painting L'Origine du monde.[2][3]

In 2016, she posed nude at the Musée d'Orsay in front of Édouard Manet's Olympia.[3][4]

In 2018, De Robertis organised a happening during a yellow vests movement demonstration in Paris. Along with four other women dressed as Marianne, the symbolic figure of the French Republic, covered with silver paint and bare-chested, she stood silently facing a riot squad.[5][6]
