The no return. Cecilia Paredes
El no retorno is a project born from Cecilia Paredes' reflections, through artistic experiences, on universal themes that affect human beings and their relationship with the natural and cultural environment. Through different forms of plastic expression, the artist travels through history to focus on ideas such as memory or the desire of human beings to redeem themselves and correct their mistakes over time, linked to the conception of power, religion or women.
