Agnes Cecile

Agnes Cecile (Silvia Pelissero) is a self-taught traditional painter based in Rome, Italy. Growing up sketching every day, she forged her voice through fearless experiments with watercolor, acrylic, ink and varnish.

Her portraits merge realistic portraits with flowing color washes and expressive drips, capturing gentleness and the quiet intensity of feeling. Each piece starts as an intuitive gesture and unfolds like a visual diary.

Since 2011, she has showcased her work in various cities and countries, participated in group exhibitions, led workshops, curated art retreats, and collaborated with top brands in the industry.
