Célia Rakotondrainy's work explores the fluidity of identity through dynamic compositions that challenge perception. Her thick brush strokes symbolize identity's evolving nature—constantly added, transformed, and reformed. Figures are multiplied and reorganized, reflecting deconstruction and understanding. Inspired by her mixed heritage, her portraits blend realism with surrealism, using water and flowers to symbolize transformation and seasonal change. She's exhibited globally, mostly with Chela Mitchell Gallery and UTA Artist Space. Her work made it to international art fairs such as NADA and SWAB. She has been featured in Architectural Digest, The Washington Post or The New York Times and has been mentioned in the top 5 artists to watch by Artnet.
