Carriera popularizó el uso de pintura al pastel. Con esa técnica retrató a un sinnúmero de clientes acaudalados. Sus obras presentan una caracterización que realza a los personajes y al mismo tiempo exhibe suavidad debido a la gran sutileza con que reproduce los detalles. La pintura al pastel se ejecuta con tizas de consistencia pastosa caracterizadas por la palidez de su coloración.
Sus retratos eran inmensamente competentes, casi siempre conteniendo una pose de busto con el cuerpo ligeramente vuelto y la cabeza vuelta hacia el espectador. Tenía una maravillosa habilidad para representar texturas y diseños, recreando fielmente telas, galones de oro, encaje, pieles, joyas, el pelo y la piel, y haciendo resaltar el suntuoso estilo de vida de sus ricos e influyentes patronos.
Su técnica consistía en pintar directamente con el pastel, sin un diseño previo. Ella desarrolló también una técnica de pintura sobre marfil que tuvo igualmente gran éxito en Venecia entre los turistas británicos.

Milena Pavlović-Barili (alt. Barilli) (5 de noviembre de 1909, Požarevac, Serbia – 6 de marzo de 1945, New York City, USA) fue una pintora y poetisa serbia, hija del influyente compositor Bruno Barilli y una estudiante de arte con un parentesco lejano con la dinastía Karađorđević. Milena estudió en la Escuela Real de artes en Belgrado, Serbia (1922–1926) y en Munich (1926–1928).
A principios de la década de los '30 dejó Serbia y retornó sólo para breves visitas hasta el estallido de la Segunda Guerra. Durante sus estadías en España, Roma, París y Londres, donde estableció contactos con Jean Cocteau y André Breton, fue influenciada por varias escuelas y artistas, notablemente por Giorgio de Chirico. Después de 1939 se estableció en New York City hasta su muerte tras un accidente de equitación en 1945.

"Cada vez que regreso al lugar donde nací, un pequeño pueblo de la Mongolia interior, mi corazón se ve inmediatamente absorbido por la belleza inherente de esta tierra.
Caminando a lo largo de las ilimitadas extensiones de las praderas de montaña, observando los rebaños de ovejas que atraviesan el paisaje ondulado, o en cambio los parches de pastos secos y pequeños detalles de la naturaleza (limpios guijarros, pequeñas florecillas blancas) y, especialmente, conversando con los campesinos con sus rostros sin adornos y ropas simples, experimento un profundo sentido de serenidad." Es lo que nos dice Xue Mo, entre otras ideas que desgrana aquí, donde también pueden verse más trabajos suyos, así como el imprescindible "Cuaderno de retazos".
"Whenever I return to my homeland, a small town in Inner Mongolia, my heart is immediately taken by the inherent beauty to this land.
Walking along the boundless stretches of mountain grasslands, observing flocks of sheep traversing the undulating landscape, or by turn, small patches of dried grassland and the minutiae of nature - clear small pebbles, small white flowers - and, especially meeting and talking with the fieldworker's, with their unadorned faces and plain, simple clothes, I experience a deep sense of serenity." It's what Xue Mo tells us, among other things, here, where also can be seen more of his work, as well as in the essential Cuaderno de retazos (in Spanish).

Varios han aplicado los calificativos de "Renacentista", "La Vermeer China" o "Retratista a lo Médici" para Xue Mo y su pintura que evoca una elegancia intemporal y un retorno a la pintura pura. La crítica Katherine Wilkinson ha escrito: "En el siglo XX muchos artistas han situado en la figura humana el reflejo y exploración de la identidad e historia de su sociedad, así como los cambios de esta en las relaciones con otras naciones y la cultura global... Xue considera su trabajo profundamente influido por la antigua cultura China, su música tradicional, caligrafía y retratos tempranos." Traducido de aquí.
Variously described as "Renaissance", "Chinese Vermeer" or "Medici- like portraiture", Xue Mo's paintings evoke a timeless elegance and a return to pure painting. Critic Katherine Wilkinson has written, "In the 20th Century, many Asian artists have sited, in the human figure, the portrayal and exploration of their own and their society’s identity and history and its changing relationship with other nations and a global culture...Xue considers her work deeply affected by old Chinese culture, its traditional music, calligraphy and early portraiture."
