I'm Celia Botas, a designer and artist driven by a boundless love for painting. Design and art guide my decisions, and I believe painting has no limits and can always be applied to something new. I enjoy exploring new techniques across media—from metal and ceramics to digital printing and textile painting on silk and other fabrics. Watercolors and acrylics are my favorites, with impressionism inspiring my work. I'm eager to learn handmade design processes, especially related to jewelry and furniture, and to explore how traditional crafts can be maintained and enhanced with new technologies and installations.
