Hello, I'm Cecilia D.
Cecilia Djk was born in Paris suburb on the 16th of June, in 1993. French committed Artist, drawing, painting and writing are her main sources of expression. At 17 years-old, she published her first novel and enter fine arts school at 19 years-old. Facing financial issues, she decides to shorten her studies and to continue her art research and work on her own. in 2015, a traumatic event leads her to change her name and she uses it for her artist name, Cecilia DJK. Hyper sensitive, she is highly engaged and committed to human, social and environment cause. Between 20 and 24, her work is very dark (Black and white paintings), following the path of the German expressionists of year 30 as it always impressed her. She uses her dark mood and trauma to express forms and landscapes (particularly architecture) very unbuilt, broken or impossible. The notion of what is reel and unreel become an obsession in this work. As she is interested in Freud and the Dada movement, she follows her work by trying to find particular process, such as emotional moment or cadavre exquis technic. This work and process research give birth to a new type of work which she calls accumulation. According to the artist, Accumulation of memory, accumulation of forms, accumulation of dreams, each accumulation possibility with a part of questioning about reality becomes a treasure. ________________________________________ From 24 to 27, the artist follows a new path and work on accumulation with excessive colors and very flash as Pop art artists would use. "Dream and unconsciousness are notions which have always been a part of me and my work. Through my writings, drawings and paintings, a philosophic notion of questioning about reality allow the audience to escape and appropriate another ephemeral reality for the time of an exhibition, a moment." These openings and lightness enroll her work in a special consistent line of drive. Multicultural influences as African, Asian and south American can be found within her paintings. Dadaism and Surrealism are mainly influencing it and the artist is very interested at contemporary youth and its excesses and drifts, expressing it with themes as inequality between men and women, the loss of identity and values within a youth struggling to find their place. As a lot of Artist, she has the feeling not every people can grow their self-development in a case chosen for them by society. "I step for the youth given up and misunderstood and intend to denounce and inform with my work". Grouping generations and opening the debate is the main purpose of Cecilia DJK accumulation work. ________________________________________ The flashy colors and narrative drawing style yet inflammatory and daring is addressed to opening minds with an interest for modern and contemporary art. My multiples trips lead me to a fountain of inspiration and a progressive style, rich in culture.
