A podcast interview with Artist Cecilia Moreno Yaghoubi is available in the Podcast Section of Hispanic Marketing & Public Relations, HispanicMPR.com. During the podcast, she discusses her strategy in making it in the arts world as well as marketing tactics, initiatives and how to get visibility as an artist with Elena del Valle, host of the HispanicMPR.com podcast.
Social and political imagery, religious iconography, found objects, and mixed media all combine in Cecilia’s work of mix media assemblages with found objects. A Colombian-born artist Cecilia emigrated at a young age with her family to the United States. In time, she earned her Bachelor’s in Business Administration in marketing and began a career in property management. Working and living in the suburbs for the greater part of her life, she decided a little over six years ago to focus on her artwork, create a studio and pursue this venture full-time.
Through a combination of influences, Cecilia’s art has traveled from the lush and beautiful, yet safe and mainstream landscapes of her homeland to the more challenging, riskier mixed media work. Featuring political and social imagery, religious iconography and found objects such as dolls, much of her current work is assembled from flea markets, thrift shops and recycled materials like wood and fabric.

In 2005, Cecilia premiered her paintings at “Origenes Latinos/Latin roots” gallery in Chelsea, New York. She has exhibited in New York and Connecticut at the Silvermine Art Center, Westchester Art Workshop, Cork Gallery at Lincoln Center, the National Academy of Art Museum and at the Colombian Consulate of New York. In Miami, her work has been featured at Opera Gallery and had a solo exhibit, “Girl from Cali,” at the Colombian Consulate in Coral Gables in October 2009. In December 2009, she will be one of 800 artists from around the world invited to exhibit her artwork at the Biennale in Florence, Italy.
