A winged child appears against a bright yellow background. The delicate features and thoughtful expression recall the cherubs of the Italian Renaissance, especially Raphael’s little angels.
The bright pinks and flowing golden colour across the child’s body disturb this gentleness.
Cécilia makes this familiar figure from art history her own to tell her own story of childhood and the difficulties hidden behind an appearance of innocence. The marks of paint hint at a story that each viewer is free to imagine.
