About
Colorful abstract triptych of animals and humans floating in a surreal, dream-like museum space. 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. Paintings are priced individually. Please message for group pricing.
