藝術工作者，現居澳門。碩士畢業於英國創意藝術大學，主修美術。 在英國留學期間被獲選為倫敦Mall Galleries ‘In the Studio’ 的其中一名藝術家，並奪得The Essential School of Painting的青年藝術家獎學金。畢業後隨即參與英國福克斯頓HOP Projects的國際藝術家駐場計劃和舉辦了個人成果展覽 「完美在於不完美」。在藝術創作以外，亦會參與影像美術的創作和執行。她的作品曾在英國和澳門多個藝術機構展出。
關於
藝術家創作自述
從影像創作到美術創作，同樣專注於表達對事物不同的獨特見解和感受。運用筆觸的特性和力度，搭配色彩的對比以及媒材質感的差異，拼砌出對事物的獨特記憶，期望能用創作過程中釋放的情感與能量引起觀賞者的共鳴。
視物質性為創作中的 一個重要元素，作品著重於透過追溯物品的本質，審視現今社會的物質文化。把人們熟悉的日常用品變成一件讓觀眾欣賞和互動的藝術品，挑戰人們對它們的認知，再而賦予它們揭示未知的可能。作品中鏡面的使用捕捉了觀眾對個人身份的矛盾，敘述了觀眾看待自己與他人看待自己之間的距離。在同一個空間裡，作品、觀眾和環境衍生了一場對話，作品邀請觀眾重新感受所在的空間，並對作品作出思考。

Currently based in Macau. Celeste received a MA in Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts. She is one of the selected ‘In the Studio’ artists of the Mall Galleries in London, and was awarded The ESOP Newman Young Artist Scholarship from The Essential School of Painting. Following her graduation, she participated in the International Artist Residency Programme at the HOP Projects in Folkestone and presented a solo exhibition Perfectly Imperfect. Her works have been featured in group exhibitions internationally.
About
Artist Statement
Focusing on the central preoccupation with colour, materiality and engagement, Celeste creates work to depict an understanding of her surroundings through her sense of place.
Employing material that aims to go beyond the recognisable connotations of itself, and to reveal the unknown within the familiar, her work questions and challenges the hierarchy of objects that exist around us. Considering her work and the viewers as a dialogue, she invites and encourages the viewers to encounter and ponder.
Her use of mirror surface intends to capture the ambivalence that people feel about aspects of their personal identity, narrating the distance between the way that the viewers see themselves and the way others see them.
