Born in Peru and living in Philadelphia, Cecilia Paredes is an artist who mixes painting, photography, and performance arts and creates a unique art form. While she’s the main subject of her artworks, you may have trouble finding her in them.
“I wrap, cover, or paint my body with the same pattern of the material and re-present myself as part of that landscape,” Paredes says. “Through this act, I am working on the theme of building my own identification with the entourage or part of the world where I live or where I feel I can call home. My bio has been described as nomadic so maybe this is also a need of addressing the process of constant relocation.”
Enjoy!
