Infused with dreamlike images rendered in expressive, blurred brushstrokes, Gonzalo Ceja’s paintings evoke surrealist, dreamlike encounters in everyday situations. Ceja began his career in 1959 in Mexico City as a furniture and set designer. In 1993, he was celebrated in Mexico when his team won the Ariel award for best production design for the film Like Water for Chocolate (Como Agua Para Chocolate), a magical realist romance that was a worldwide hit.
