Cecilia Sebastian

Cecilia Sebastian de Erice, born in Madrid in 1996. She graduated in Fine Arts from the Manchester Metropolitan University, with honors. Currently, she is organizing ARCO (international contemporary art fair) and lives in Madrid, a city in which she is also the co-founder of MOOD ART, an online platform dedicated to the diffusion of emerging artists and art events.

My work tries to explore an infinite intermediate area where external and internal realities amalgamate. An area that Winnicott saw as a transition space, where an individual can assume the identity of a fictional character, intertwined with his own, without fear, consequences, or retaliation.

This space, where painting is  a product of an ongoing investigation into the médium itself, and where the nature of an uncontrollable automatism of unconscious elements that swarm indecisively in each thought, is what I use as a means of transition to potentially understand the acts of the painter.
