Cecilia de Jong creates contemplative art through watercolors and textile works using cotton and vintage threads, often inherited or discovered. Her practice manifests in geometric compositions that materialize meditative experiences, revealing every process in the final pieces.
Working with methodical precision yet embracing spontaneity, de Jong crafts transparent and esoteric works that question existence itself. Her artistic approach honors material authenticity while imagining alternative futures inspired by science fiction narratives.
Sustainability forms the backbone of her practice—repurposing textiles, utilizing inherited threads, and minimizing environmental impact through thoughtful production methods.
Equally important is her commitment to community building, fostering connections through workshops and knowledge-sharing that extend beyond traditional exhibition spaces.
Through her harmonious geometric compositions and distinctive "vibrating materiality," de Jong creates portals between worlds—spaces where spiritual contemplation meets speculative fiction, and where ancient textile traditions converse with future possibilities.
