Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes is the subject of her own richly patterned photographs, yet her figure is often difficult to locate at first. For each portrait she hangs boldly printed fabrics as the backdrop, which she then matches either with her painted skin, custom clothing, or both. Her torso, arms, and face fade into the background, as the curvature of her body and brown hair become some of the only indicators of her presence. More

Peruvian artist Cecilia Paredes continues her ongoing series of camouflaged self-portraits with deceptive new works that leave only her hair, eyes, and ears untouched. Set against lavish backdrops printed with birds in shades of blue, floral motifs, and ornate flourishes, Paredes paints her skin and positions herself in a precise alignment with the chosen pattern, disappearing among the colorful landscapes. Each work, which the Lima-born artist refers to as “photo performances,” considers how individual identities are informed by natural environments and the broader cultural milieu. More

A artista peruana Cecilia Paredes desaparece em suas próprias obras. Com uma mistura de fotografia, pintura e performance, Cecilia encontrou uma forma de integrar-se fisicamente às produções. Com ajuda de assistentes, Cecilia aplica a maquiagem em seu próprio corpo, com o padrão de suas obras, e cria quase que uma fusão para ser fotografada. Por algumas vezes a artista deixa seus cabelos expostos, fazendo com que sua presença seja notada pelo espectador. A peruana, em sua performance, tem o cuidado de fazer com que cada elemento se encaixe, o que torna evidente a vontade da artista em abordar a adaptação do homem a ambientes. Cecilia Paredes explica que utilizou o próprio corpo por, justamente, se tratar de um trabalho autobiográfico e que somente sendo o objeto cênico, teria controle do resultado que esperava.
