She was the daughter of the writer and patriot Esteban Borrero Echevarría and of Consuelo Pierra, and began painting when she was five; she wrote her first poem at seven, and spoke multiple languages by the time she was ten. In 1887 she entered the San Alejandro Arts Academy; by 1891 her poems were being published in magazines around Cuba. She died of tuberculosis at only eighteen.
