Edmond, Oklahoma — Original Works
Where organic movement meets metallic radiance — abstract paintings that pulse with color, texture, and life.
View All WorksThe Artist
Cecilia Santis — known artistically as Cesan Rei — creates abstract works that blur the line between the organic and the extraordinary. Based in Edmond, Oklahoma, her paintings invite you into worlds where paint flows freely, color defies gravity, and texture catches the light.
Working primarily in acrylics, Cecilia moves between two distinct bodies of work: fluid pour paintings with their explosive, naturalistic forms, and textured metallic series where thick, raised paint is dusted in gold, silver, and copper glitter to evoke sound waves, light, and landscape.
— Cecilia Santis
Acrylic pour paintings where pigment moves freely — creating organic cellular structures, rivers of color, and luminous depth.
Impasto and textured paintings alive with gold, silver, and copper — raised paint ridges that shimmer and pulse like sound made visible.
The Process
Acrylic paint is thinned to a fluid consistency and poured across the canvas, then tilted and guided to create organic rivers, cells, and veins of color. Silicone oil creates the iconic lace-like cell formations.
Thick, textured paint is applied with palette knives and brushes, building up ridges and peaks that cast real shadow across the canvas surface — sculptures you can almost hear.
Fine-grain glitter in gold, silver, copper, and rose gold is pressed into the wet paint, catching light from every angle. Each piece shimmers differently throughout the day as the light moves around it.
Every painting is an original, one-of-a-kind work. Commissions welcome — Cecilia works with collectors to create pieces matched to your space, palette, and vision. Based in Edmond, Oklahoma. Shipping available nationwide.
