Children Traverse ‘Paper Stories’ in José Luis Ceña’s Paintings — Colossal

José Luis Ceña’s oil paintings transport viewers into elaborate, imaginary worlds filled with youthful characters. These protagonists don homemade costumes and explore forts constructed from sheets and boxes, creating a sense of wonder and adventure.

The artist attributes his focus on children in his paintings to the influence of his own two children. He believes that living with children brings to light issues that may have been forgotten, and this is reflected in his art.

Ceña’s latest series, titled “Paper Stories,” features children wearing masks as they navigate a cardboard world filled with animals, dinosaurs, and mysteries. The scenes, crafted from everyday materials, transform into fantastical realms that capture the innocence and imagination of childhood.

In Ceña’s paintings, play serves as a contrast to the decay of the adult world, highlighting the purity of youth. The use of masks in the artwork serves as a metaphor for how individuals conform to societal expectations and project false images of themselves, particularly in the age of social media.

The vibrant landscapes depicted in Ceña’s work often lack depth, appearing as though they are cut from paper and layered to create a stage-like setting. This choice suggests that these worlds are transient and destined to fade away, with solitude playing a significant role in the narrative.

The paintings showcased in this article were recently exhibited at Galerie LeRoyer, offering viewers a glimpse into Ceña’s captivating and thought-provoking artistic vision. To explore more of Ceña’s work, visit his Instagram profile.

As you immerse yourself in the whimsical and introspective world of José Luis Ceña’s paintings, you are invited to reflect on the fleeting nature of childhood innocence and the masks we wear as we navigate the complexities of adulthood.
