Priscilla Cesar (Brazil, b. 1989) is a contemporary artist based in France whose drawings explore the emotional architectures of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Working with colored pencil and watercolor, she creates densely populated compositions where figures, creatures, and abstract forms accumulate and overlap, transforming automatic mark-making into saturated psychological landscapes.

Rooted in an instinctive drawing practice developed in childhood, Cesar’s work moves between unconscious emergence and deliberate refinement. Her shifting palettes, ranging from delicate transparencies to dense, vibrant hues, mirror fluctuating internal states, while the slow, layered construction of each piece functions as a record of mental and bodily endurance. Engaging broader conversations around invisible illness and nonlinear emotional experience, her ongoing series Mind.full investigates how overflowing inner worlds can be given visual coherence and presence.
