Cecilia Paredes

Born in 1950 in Lima, Peru.
Lives and works between Philadelphia (USA), San Jose (Costa Rica) and Lima (Peru).

Cecilia builds objects mainly using discarded natural elements and with her work, re creates another language. She also does performances using make up, body painting or any other resource to create her anthropomorphic images, transforming herself into animals, plants or landscapes. These acts are registered on photography, creating her photoperformances.
