White Wood Frame
Artplex Gallery
Juana Céspedes is inspired by the contagious joy of dance. Her subjects are people floating in white space, who when bunched together, often take the form of semi-abstract shapes, clusters, and lines. She imagines the convergence of souls in her hometown of Barcelona as city squares flood with dancers who are celebrating the return of warmer days. Watercolor allows the artist to depict human flow and unique folds in her handmade paper give dimension and allude to the urban spaces which inspire Céspedes.
This one-of-a-kind 25 inch high by 33 inch wide artwork is painted on handmade paper and is framed in a white wood frame. Size and price include the frame. Céspedes uses watercolors to capture color, light, and movement in her work. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this original work.
The artists’ journey spans 21 years during which Céspedes has developed a unique style always revolving around two major themes: urban space and human bodies. “Dance inspires me. I love its contagious joy. I’m often carried away by the image of swing dancers on an endless journey, from partner to partner—a journey that started in Harlem and found its way across the world.”

As a self-taught artist, Céspedes’ work is an inspiring example of outsider art. Her life is a story of resilience. The artist was orphaned at thirteen and Céspedes was left to contend with life as the eldest of a family of seven in rural Andalucía. Her pursuit of art brought a meditative calm to her life but with no connection to the art world, Céspedes did not show her work as she developed her unique style.

I love its contagious joy. I’m often carried away by the image of swing dancers on an endless journey, from partner to partner—a journey that started in Harlem and found its way across the world.”
Céspedes’ work has been shown in more than 60 solo and collective exhibitions and awarded internationally.
