Celia is a conceptual-based artist, and her work is partly informed by an ongoing interest in pre-Hispanic cultures.The work is iconic and is on the cover of the Houston Art League catalogue that was published for her solo show in 2021 https://www.artleaguehouston.org/exhibition-catalogs-alh-merch/celia-lvarez-muoz-obras

The technical bonus of its printing process is that it is a Cibachrome, which no longer exists. It’s a specialized process that involves the paper and the chemicals. It is not an emulsion type like the regular color prints. Painstaking process producing high brilliance. Especially with reds & warm colors.
