Cecilia Paredes Camouflage Wallpapers

Chilean artist Cecilia Paredes’ latest work is an experimentation with her own body whereby she paints these floral wallpaper designs on herself and then blends in with the background. The outcome is quite effective..............................................................................................................

“The illusion of ‘disappearing’ into the landscape that surrounds her, is in reality a blending, she is now ‘part of the landscape’ in her quest of belonging,” Paredes explains. “The theme behind it all is re-location after displacement and migration and how one has to adjust in order to belong. Quite tough but it has to be done, without forgetting our origin.”
