Saint Cecilia is a Christian saint, patron saint of musicians and sacred music, as it is said that when she died she sang to God. Archaeological excavations leave no doubt about its existence, but its history was only recorded in the 5th century, in the narrative Paixão de Santa Cecília. She is one of the most venerated saints of the Middle Ages, in addition to being the first saint found with an incorrupt body, in the year 1599, even after so many centuries.

Sketches

Frequently associated with the masculine universe by its strength and intensity, the blue color that named these engravings replaces the innocence of the pink color. La Vie en Bleu reverses the logic of the Édith Piaf's eternal song, La Vie en Rose, through simple compositions and strong traits to revere the female figure. A goddess of Greek mythology, an African warrior, a Brazilian Indian, different colors and ethnicities. A disruption that represents the new achievements and celebrate the women role in the contemporary society.
