cécile crest

Cécile Crest is a printmaker based in L’Arbresle, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. She primarily works with copper etching and lost-plate multicolor printing techniques. Her pieces are known for their energy, brightness, and emotional depth, creating a poetic balance between fullness and emptiness, movement and stillness, optimism and introspection.

Since 2010, she has opened her studio to the public for printmaking demonstrations and personal exhibitions, such as "Bella Vita" and "Blue Note". She regularly takes part in art fairs and exhibitions in France and abroad, including shows in Romania, Denmark, and Brazil. Her practice incorporates mixed media: including ink, collage, paint, and pencil, to create abstract compositions inspired by movement, light, and inner landscapes.
