Art of Life is an exhibit by Cecilia Moros in the Corridor Gallery. (Pictured: “Horizon of a Mountain Range” by Cecilia Moros)
Cecilia Moros Martin, born in Venezuela in 1952, never anticipated an art career. However, 25 years ago, inspired by an anonymous artist, she began experimenting with colored pencils. Initially unfamiliar with the medium, she started to sell her naive works in small formats to family and friends. Over time, she explored acrylics and blended them with colored pencils. As a self-taught artist, Cecilia embraces a perpetual learning journey and is grateful to share her art with you.
