Artist Portfolio Magazine’s 10 Art Competition

Celia Dargie – Cypress, TX

Born and raised in the south east of France, I now live and paint in Houston, Texas.
I have been exposed to art at an early age as my grand parents were antique dealers and my great grand father Jean de Sperati is the most famous artist stamp forger in the world to date!
​
I’m an abstract painter that works from intuition and emotion. I paint who I am and how I feel, every painting contains a piece of my world. I never have a set color scheme, style or end result in mind unless it’s a commission piece.
​
My paintings are also influenced by my passion for traveling that took me to many beautiful places, where I have been fortunate enough to live and explore, in Europe, Africa, Middle East and now USA. My paintings are an organic expression of the complexity and beauty of my life experiences.
​
My preferred medium is acrylic and my favorite tools are my fingers and knifes. My pieces range from all different sizes and mostly on stretched canvas.
