Artist: Agnes Cecile/Silvia Pelissero

Silvia Pelissero was born in 1991, Rome. She is an Italian painter best known as agnes-cecile. She went in an art high school in Rome, than she has continued as a self-taught artist.
She influences a huge number of artists and fans despite her age. Her main mediums for her works include watercolour, ink, acrylic and enamel paint.





Her watercolour works are distinctive and noticeable. Each painting appears to have its own tone and feeling.  The choice of colour and the use of drips or paint flow seem to change the whole mood of each painting, more so than the expression of the subject. 
Agnes Cecile may be a young artist but has already mastered the art of eliciting an emotional response from the viewer.
Some of her works include symbolic subjects such as birds or butterflies resembling femininity or freedom or add another emotional element to the painting. 
Her work is made using key words noted in a sketchbook and small illustrations of related to the words she wishes to convey. 



These paintings are made with acrylic paint. This series has a more abstract feel to it and the colour expresses a more solemn and depressed tone. The drips and the expressive brush strokes appear to resemble rain or turmoil like a storm. This makes the viewer empathise with the work, through emotion and personal experience and feelings.





These pieces, mainly created using enamel paint and acrylic, show a lot of angry emotions. I believe they show frustration and expel a notion of escapism and bursts of emotion. I think that this is communicated by the use of the uncontrolled paint motions, the loosely drawn figures make the pieces have a clearer effect.
