Bio.

Cesar Cueva (b. April 18, 1976) is an Illawarra based multidisciplinary artist and designer born in Lima, Peru and raised in Western Sydney, Australia.

Cueva’s practice is rooted in craft and the pursuit of mastery with a focus on the beauty of imperfection.

Through breaking the grid of process and rationale, Cueva explores abstractions of colour, space and scale  in his work.

He investigates themes of identity, liminality and sense of place with his polychromatic abstractions in photographic and sculptural forms.

In recent works, Cueva begins to explore the philosophies of Wabi-Sabi through the pairing of Digital Cameras and “unconventional filters' to distort his precise colour compositions.

Cueva earned a BA (Hons) in Gold and Silversmithing at the Australian National University in 2004.

He is co-founder  and Creative Director of Courtesy of the Artist, Sydney and a founding member of  SEVENMARKS Gallery in Kiama, NSW.
