Gandolfo Cécilia | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

In 2004, Cécilia Gandolfo exhibited her paintings in Buenos Aires. As she chats with her friends, a butterfly lands on one of her frames. Jokingly, a friend of hers says it's a sign and that she will sell this painting. The day passes and Cecilia is about to pack up when a woman arrives. She spots the painting the butterfly has landed on and decides to buy it. This is Cécilia's first sale. Another important symbol that the artist inserts in each of his paintings: a blue coffee maker. For her, the coffee maker symbolizes those things that may seem superfluous, like culture, art or love, but which are ultimately at the heart of a life. The world of Cecilia Gandolfo, in which humans evolve supreme, where they spread out fully with their size and grandeur of their emotions, where they reduce the real through the strength of their feelings, is a symbolic world with fantastic logic.
