About
Colorful abstract painting of surreal orange and blue deer floating in a black starry night sky. The title "Cielo de Noche" translates to "Night Sky." This piece was recently included in the artist's solo show titled "Two-Headed Turtle" in Chicago. Cecilia Beaven draws upon her early life in Mexico City as well as her own personal introspection to create a narrative in which intriguing and absurd mythical creatures explore the fictional landscape of the artist's inner world.
