Cecilia Winters is an American artist based in New York City. Winters’ work taps into the playful, nostalgic side of their identity by painting figurines and toys. By depicting these animated subjects, their work examines how these figurines–whether played with or collected–serve as tools of personal expression. The toys become more than mere objects; but act as decorative elements and extensions of our identities, reflecting how we see and understand ourselves in the world.
