Cecilia for Dossier by Kavian Borhani
Cecilia is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Her lyrical painting style creates a new MYTHICAL ecosystem full of fairies and creatures.
Switching from acrylics to rabbit-skin glue and pigments, one of the oldest techniques that preceded even the use of oil paint, became significant for Cecilia's work. A transformative experience of living with shamans in Peru, influenced her paintings, which form dreamlike landscapes. A glimpse into a world behind reality.
“The works may seem chaotic at first glance, but when you look closer, you see in the paintings how it is precisely out of this chaos, this process of transformation, that creatures are born,and life grows.”
Cecilia started expanding her work into the three dimensional. Folding screens and performances in costumes made of canvas provide the audience a radically different experience of her mythical world..
