Hi, I am Cæsiliæ.

 

My oil paintings capture fleeting moments suspended in time, delicate pauses where life quietly transforms between dream and reality.

After ten years in Berlin, I returned to the Mediterranean and settled in Sóller, Mallorca with my little family. Today, the island's luminous landscapes, gardens and everyday moments inspire my paintings. Experiencing Mallorca through the eyes of young children has deepened my attention to wonder, presence and the quiet poetry of ordinary life.

Lately, I've become fascinated by the idea that perhaps nature is observing us as much as we observe it. This quiet dialogue has found its way into my recent paintings, where light, plants and landscapes become silent witnesses to our most intimate moments.

With over ten years of experience as a professional artist, my work is held in private and public collections worldwide and has been exhibited by international galleries and organisations supporting women and the environment.

Whether I am painting in my studio or welcoming people for intimate painting sessions, my wish remains the same: to invite others to slow down, look more closely, and rediscover the quiet beauty that surrounds us.

Cæsiliæ comes from my second civil name, Cecilia, chosen by my mother who passed away in 2012 in a mountain accident in Corsica. It means blind, fortunate or secret in Latin. Saint Cecilia (230 AD) was the saint for poets and musicians.

My paintings are built through multiple translucent layers, inviting the eye to travel from darkness to light, and from opacity to transparency.

I paint exclusively with professional-quality oil colours, natural linseed oil and carefully selected, eco-conscious canvases. I choose these materials not only for their beauty and longevity, but also out of respect for both health and the environment.

I love oil paint for its richness, subtlety and remarkable depth. With proper care, an oil painting can endure for centuries, becoming a lasting presence transcanding our lives.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
