Together with other members of the Popov group, he works in the villages of Skoptsi and recruitment. Popova is actively involved in various exhibitions. Her early paintings are executed in the traditions of analytical cubism and Fovism.

Later, the artist will move away from this manner, giving preference to more dynamic cubofuturism and synthetic cubism. She tried to transfer this still life to a graphic sheet or canvas. The artist paid special attention to the value of the sounds of paints. In this sense, her cycle “Picturesque architectonics” is very important. From the works of Malevich, he is distinguished by a variety of colorful rhythms.

In the twenties, Popova moves away a little from painting, addressing the scenography. She participates in the design of the performances “The Tale of the Pope and the employee of his Balde”, “Chancellor and locksmith”. Popova works in the style of "Ar deco", combining the traditions of avant -garde and modern. She also takes part in the performance of the play “Earth on the end” and “Great -minded cuckold”, names Meyerhold staged in the theater.

Popova paid attention and teaching. Since the year, she worked at VKhUTEMAS and the Institute of Artistic Culture. In the artist’s work, a variety of motives harmoniously intertwined.

The traditions of the classics do not disappear from the work of Popova even when it is engaged in the production of fabrics, leaving painting.
