Several people emphasised the closeness of her works to the Cobra group, and it is said that one day Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo dropped to his knees before her paintings. However, in Morocco the reception of her works was quite ambivalent. In the 1960s, the mostly male leaders of Moroccan artistic movements rejected her paintings, stating that they contributed to the underdeveloped image of Morocco.

Married at the age of 13, Chaïbia was widowed mother by 15. To make a living, she cleaned wool. She never went to school and was illiterate for all of her life. Her son had a painting studio.
