Cecilia Information

Growing up surrounded by art and classical music at home in Uruguay, Cecilia Taibo Rahban studied piano full time. Upon arriving in the United States her career path took a turn toward photography, exhibiting in Los Angeles, most notable in a show supported by the consulates of Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and her native Uruguay. But the freedom of expression and innovation she found in the Los Angeles art scene led her to explore art making with different materials and techniques, resulting in her bold and elegant stainless steel jewelry designs. Again she received accolades and exhibitions including Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA and Museum of Latin American Art, as well as in Dubai and Milan. I have chosen stainless steel, chain maille in particular, as the medium for my latest creations, as it embodies the qualities I wish to inspire: elegance and boldness, fluidity and strength, for my jewelry to be grounding yet airy, delicate yet steel strong. I wanted to create a symbol of the resilience and strength of spirit, as well as the sparkle we all have, but sometimes lifes challenges make us forget or neglect to nourish. Wearing my jewelry pieces is meant to not only beautify your look, but to connect you with your inner strength while bringing some fun into your day.
