Cécile Filipe's works are expressions of emotions. Her painting combines abandonment, poetry and highly structures architectural composition. The result is an impression of strength and fragility. She works mainly with acrylic on canvas but also with inks and watercolours on paper.
"Painting is for me a necessity. It allows me to expel my emotions, It is a constant inner and aesthetic search for light, depth and balance. I want to paint what can't be seen, the breath, the wind, the movement, the emotion, the rustle of the leaves, the rain, the ice, the different seasons."
The artist works mainly with acrylic on canvas but also with inks and watercolours on paper. From a mixed technology linking acrylic paint, pure pigments and collages, in an intuitive manner, the artist weave links across lights, traces and footprints.
Cecile Filipe trained as an interior designer in Paris and worked for twenty years as the head of a design office. Cécile now devotes herself exclusively to her art. She was born in Lisbon, Portugal and now lives in Paris, France.
