About
Dark toned abstract painting of a surreal cloudy dream-like landscape on four wooden panels. While primarily black and grey, the pops of blue and pink stand out against the neutral clouds. 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.
