Welcome to the dream like world of Nicoletta Ceccoli where innocence combines with a touch of madness and where whimsy shows us a path to wisdom and self-discovery. Bringing these contrasting ideas together Nicoletta’s art evokes a magical place where we are free to ask complex questions and find answers and insights that lie hidden in the in-between places. Spec Lo Scarabeo Size 3 x 5 x 1 IN 78 Cards Companion booklet Author anonymous Creator Nicoletta Ceccoli Born in 1973 in San Marino, Italy, Nicoletta Ceccoli attended the Institute of Art in Urbino where she studied animation. Also an illustrator of children’s books, Ceccoli got her start while still a student. She was selected to exhibit her work at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair Show. This led to more work from American and international publishers. Ceccoli is a master of compositional harmony who explores more emotionally complex themes in her fine art – predominantly innocence and sexuality and love and loss. Ceccoli has described her work as attempting to “offer a delectable balance of repulsive and attractive. What is beautiful, sweet, and chaste hides often dark suggestions.” The dolls featured in Ceccoli’s work represent beauty, innocence, and perfection juxtaposed against emotional turmoil, darkness, and helplessness.
