About
Cecilia Flaten is the painter of the " Magic Lights "……. Magic Landscapes inspired in the Norwegian Mithology, Lights of the Arctic , Auroras Borealis , Midnight Sun and in Patagonia´s Lands.
At the beginning of her relationship with painting , Flaten worked in an innocent and playful way, which is demonstrated in her naïve works. In such works she experiments with techniques and colors that allude directly to her Scandinavian ancestors. Entering into a more mature stage, Flaten began working with oil till now , during 20 years , a medium that provides her with the stability and desired pattern of expression , allowing her to represent properly the legends, myths and the dreams that nest in her mind and in her blood.In the last 15 years she works also a new technique , a mixed of oil and pigment of Lapislazuli , the blue stone of Chile.
Her work is a great meditation on natural elements .Blending the fluidic atmosphere of the sky with the blended appearance of the horizont : she captures the interaction of light and the absorption inside of landscapes . It is a magical and poetic work.
