Painting "Middle" 2015 Acrylic Black Geometric on Canvas by Cecilia Setterdahl

By Cecilia Setterdahl

Located in Dubai, Dubai

About the painting “Middle” Strict and simple geometrical lines that focus on the RED centre. About the artist: Cecilia’s is working with all geometrical forms, lines and shadows. Her style developed to be clean and sharp forms in different combinations. Often they are in juxtaposition to create a three dimensional effect.

Born in Sweden in 1954, Cecilia Setterdahl has always been painting from Swedish inspiration. Studied ascetics in High School and then went on to the Technical University of Lulea and graduated as a teacher. Moved to Stockholm and studied at the “Konstskolan” First exhibition 1988.
