Hello!
If you’re wondering how to pronounce my name - just think "CL Bo" and you're golden!
Ciele Beau is a multi-disciplinary visual artist and musician, based out of Vancouver, Canada (unceded lands of the Squamish, Musqeum, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations). Ciele graduated with a BFA, Major in Visual Arts, from the University of Victoria in 2013, and received her 2D Design Certificate from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2017.
Her work focuses on the human condition, our emotional responses and everyday experiences. Pains, joys, conditions of the heart. Never one to be afraid of colour, Ciele loves to create paintings, illustrations and murals using bright bold hues and playful imagery.
As part of a personal practise, Ciele also derives influence from her experience having Synesthesia - a condition where the brain mixes up the senses and stimulation of one sensory pathway leading to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. For example - when Ciele listens to music she FEELS colour and SEES shapes. She has created a painting practice around this experience that allows her to translate sheet music of her favourite songs into colour on the canvas. (Learn more about synesthesia and her 'Sound To Colour' paintings here!)
Ciele is a full-time freelance creative, and has worked with companies such as Pabst Blue Ribbon, Warner Brothers (CW’s Riverdale), Slack, Adobe, Vancouver Mural Festival, Vancouver Pride, Georgia Straight, Sarah McLachlan School of Music, SAD Magazine, Sofar Sounds and more.
