Acrylic

Colorful abstract painting of a surreal otherworldly blue toned dream landscape. 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. Three pieces available in this series. Please inquire for group pricing.
