Celia is specialized in early human artefacts, as she believes them to be the “only possible true Art”, the most valuable way of expression: ancient language is lost under the dust of time, but artefacts are preserved till today. Human beings have found a way to express their own vision of nature and, at the same time, a way to describe symbols and abstract ideas common to all humankind. The first artefacts have sprung from natural world and have build a bridge to a inner world made of fears, hopes and feelings concealed inside the human mind.
