Sister Cearuleum 2020

"Sister Cearuleum" by Camilla d'Errico is, well, blue. It’s like she took a big breath of ultramarine and exhaled this whole world onto the canvas. The color harmony, it’s almost soothing, isn’t it? The hues gently blend, and even though it’s super detailed, it all melts together. Look at the way she renders the lobster, the hair, the various animals sitting on her head - everything’s so precise. The way the blue is intensified in certain areas to create shadows and depth! It reminds me a bit of Odilon Redon, but with a modern pop twist. It’s like she’s saying, "Hey, art can be technically amazing, but also totally surreal and dreamy." The piece exists in that space between what we know and what we imagine. It’s both incredibly detailed and intentionally ambiguous. It doesn't tell you what to think, but invites you to swim in the color and see what you find.
