Agnes Cecile.

Agnes Cecile.

Agnes Cecile was born in 1991, Rome. She studied art in high school but has no other training accept for self-taught. A lot of her art shows drips, dribble and splashes. Every painting she has is unique but all of them show some type of resemblance. Agnes may be young but has come a long way and leaves the viewer always wanting to see more.

Agnes uses watercolours, ink, acrylic, charcoal and industrial varnish, for her amazing paintings. Each of her panting is unique and different in some particular way. Normally the heads and human figures exploding into dramatic colours and every face has a mesmerising stare. Some of her paintings include butterflies and birds blended with them that represent flight, freedom and femininity.  She uses bold brushstrokes combined with splashes and splatters of colours that create a beautiful piece of art that will let you wonder.

Agnes Cecile is mainly inspired from the people around her and her everyday life and her art is just a mirror of her feelings. Some artist that inspire her are Francis Bacon, Schiele, Lucian Freud and Francesca Woodman. Agnes says that her ideas take a bit time to develop and don’t just pop in her head. Her art is simple in a way that when the viewer looks at it, he/she understand what they’re looking at and that makes it easier for the viewer to appreciate it. Her work has some abstract in it but the type of abstract that is mixed with a strong realism, so people who aren’t a huge fan of abstract are still interested in some way or another.

 Agnes likes to use watercolours and varnish because she can use them in a random way and gives the material freedom and she only guides it in a specific way that will create an elaborate form and a beautiful painting.

DeviantArt was an important part in Agnes’s artistic life. (DeviantArt, LLC is an online community showcasing various forms of user-made artwork.) It made her career year after year, it even helped her to grow in similar ways of other deviantart artist. She says it’s a great thing to see yourself grown and develop yourself. On deviantart she found a lot of lovely young artists like herself who were still developing their style. She could even confront herself better that she would do in her art class.

When she comes to starting a painting she normally doesn’t like to have any relations with her models. Agnes like to use aseptic faces and then add specific features. She uses models to make realistic portraits, but then uses photos to draw the shadows and lights. When she can’t find the perfect pose or facial expression she just uses herself as her own model.
