Cecilia Ferreira was born in 1978 in South Africa. At the time, neither she nor the country realized they were destined for crisis. 
She classifies herself as a contradiction, a self-inflicted dilemma and an introverted exhibitionist. She started drawing when she was very young. 
With her parents as constant stimuli, she pursued her art intensely and by the time she was in high school her art became her lifestyle. 

Cecilia says "I am an expressionist. I cannot create a work of art without brutally expressing and releasing my own emotional baggage in the process. 
Like the German expressionist I use bold line and colors and I believe that art should not only depict the seen world but should also convey my emotional 
reactions towards it. I believe I can make my own, subjective statements about humanity by the exaggeration of form and colour and by depicting figures in 
an honest manner. By ‘honest’I do not mean depicting them physically correct or by portraying them realistically, but by revealing things about them they 
do not like to show. I also try and employ this method in my digital photography."
