Celestina Vičević (Rijeka, 1976) works in the field of fine arts, in the field of graphics and art books. He describes artistic research as ‘thinking in materials’ (‘material thinking’, P. Carter), where the very choice of certain materials (paper of different qualities and transparency, combined with light and different lighting) shapes the work. In his artistic and pedagogical work he applies knowledge, methods and techniques in the field of yoga, emphasizing the importance of the creative process as a way of cognition, as well as the strong therapeutic impact of art on man as a whole.
