Cécile Carer is an artist and illustrator based in Paris. Her pictorial work is inspired by Byzantine icon painting, medieval illuminations and pop culture. Through an intuitive approach, her sensitive, poetic works lead us to reflect on the resonance between ancient and contemporary myths. How do our personal identities relate to them? She uses traditional artistic techniques, such as gum arabic and egg tempera, to bring her paintings to life on paper or wood panels. They invite us to take a space-time stroll through gardens, meadows, mountains and moors, all playgrounds where the imagination explores the relationship between nature and culture.
