Wikipedia: Cecelia Perez
Cecelia Perez is a self taught artist and entrepreneur. Her full time gig is creating visual art for brands, car people, and other artists. She wants to be known for creating artwork that touches the nostalgic soul, where it reminds you of that one oldies song you have heard in the car or at the thrift store. Where it reminds you of the songs your older cousins listened to in the garage while hanging out and working on their lowriders. Music and art have always been the epicenter of her life and she channeled the lyrics or melodies in the flow of my visual art. Most of it being black and white when she adds colors it packs a good punch.
