Ceci Loel
Cecilia Lopez, also known as Ceci Loel, is a Mexican visual artist and designer whose journey in art began in her childhood. Her early years were marked by solo and collective exhibitions from 2004 to 2010, showcasing a diverse range of works from acrylic paintings to interventions on everyday objects and clothing. Her passion for art has been a constant in her life, driving her to explore and innovate in various creative fields. From 2018 to 2019, Cecilia's appearances in the creative and craft design scene in London further solidified her career path.
In September 2023, Cecilia experienced a resurgence of inspiration, marking a new phase in her artistic journey. This period is characterised by a vibrant exploration of bold strokes and dynamic tones, reflecting her deep love for colours and art. Her work in this stage can be seen as a visual love song to her roots, drawing heavily from the rich cultural tapestry of her Mexican heritage. Cecilia's art is deeply influenced by the unapologetic boldness of Mexican traditions, such as Dia de los Muertos, and the aesthetic beauty of Talavera Poblana.
Cecilia's art is a harmonious fusion of nature’s splendour, playful designs, and cultural magic that evoke sweet memories and spark wonder. She captures the unique essence of still life and portraits, blending realism and stylisation in her work. Her creative process involves summoning soulful rhythms and patterns that dance with colours and emotions, employing a variety of mediums including acrylics, watercolours, ink, and digital tools.
Through her vibrant and culturally rich artworks, Cecilia Lopez continues to enchant and inspire audiences. Her journey is a testament to her unwavering passion for art and her ability to infuse her cultural heritage into her creative expressions, creating pieces that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
