A practice guided by gratitude, emotion and a deep coection to the present moment.
Creating from Authenticity
Cecilia Sistos Vallín’s work grows out of a direct relationship with herself and with her present moment. Her practice does not begin with a preconceived idea or an external search, but from an internal state: observing, feeling and creating from there. Color and detail appear as natural extensions of that connection, rather than as strategic decisions.
Each piece is built from genuine emotion. Gratitude runs through her creative process from beginning to end, accompanied by the excitement of discovering what emerges as she works. Inspiration is not sought; it appears in everyday life when she allows herself to pause and observe.
“Connecting with myself and my present moment leads me to create beautiful things. A passion for detail and color.”
– sofia sistos vallin
Authenticity, dedication, joy and passion are not presented as abstract concepts, but as visible qualities within the act of making. Her work does not impose a message; it invites the sharing of a state.
Process as a Space for Healing
Art occupies a central place in Cecilia’s life not only as a creative practice, but as a transformative experience. Through it, she came to know herself, to sustain herself, and to find a way of healing. Her hands became an extension of that process, a means for both creating and giving thanks.
Her path is defined by complete commitment to the process. Each piece involves risk: beginning without knowing how it will end, allowing experimentation with different materials, and releasing the fear of error. Within that space, error is neither avoided nor corrected; it is observed and transformed.
“I see beauty and possibility in every ‘mistake.’”
– Sofia sistos vallin
A work is completed when it is felt. There are no external rules or imposed timelines. There is a clear moment when the piece reveals itself as finished, and the signature appears as a gesture of closure.
“You feel it. I feel it. When I feel it’s ready, I sign it.”
– Sofia sistos vallin
Living, Contemplating, Giving Thanks
At this moment, her work is in a phase of natural growth. It connects with people of different ages, generating a direct emotional response. Rather than a forced expansion, this growth is the result of consistency, love and commitment to her practice.
Cecilia’s pieces invite the viewer to slow down, to look attentively and to reconnect with the present. Her work proposes a pause: to live consciously, to contemplate what unfolds around us, and to recognize the value of each moment as an act of gratitude.
Being part of Art Week CDMX 2026 reinforces this intention. For Cecilia, this context amplifies the possibility of sharing a message that emerges from emotion and of leaving a sensitive imprint on those who connect with her work.
In this gesture of offering, her practice affirms itself as a space where creating is, above all, an act of presence, gratitude and joy.
