During 1982 to 1983, Brintrup was a teacher of vitreous enamel techniques at the Cultural Center Mapocho (Spanish: Centro Cultural Mapocho).[1] In 1983, Brintrup relocated to Belgium where she began working on the Los Romances.[4][5][6] The Los Romances project explored the romantic relationship between a woman and five objects: sheep, cows, lettuce, bales of hay, and tractors.[4] Between 1984 and 1990, the Los Romances was primarily conducted through mail art.[1][4] In 1984, Brintrup held her first solo exhibition at the Central Library of Louvain-la-Neuve.[1]
Returning to Chile, Brintrup worked in a private workshop as a teacher of vitreous enamel between 1986 and 1990, before working at the Bobenrietd & Brintrup design studio during 1990 to 1994.[1] In 1992, Brintrup published her first artbook Vaca mía in concordance with an installation at the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts.[1][4] Brintrup's work are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Hammer Museum and the Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art.[1][7][8]
