Celine Son is a visual artist based in Queens, New York. She received her BFA from New York University in 2010. Her practice includes oil painting and ceramic sculpture.
Son uses symbols from the natural world and domestic life to describe a disjointed personal mythology. Fusing the mystical and the psychological, she connects a diaristic narrative to archetypes of the human condition and universal experiences of self. Her work investigates the depth and invisibility of inner lives and the interconnectivity born out of meaning-making through symbols. Drawing from memories, dreams, and intuition, she creates meeting places for the interior forces shaping our relationship to the external world.
