Artistically, Celina considers herself to be metamodernist - to her, that means acknowledging the challenges and horrors that occur both on a global and personal scale, and choosing hope anyway. Her past work explored her experience with sexual abuse, culminating in a show at Zilkha Gallery. Her current work is an exploration of personal sexuality and the ways in which it is affected by growing up online

Celina grew up in Paris, France and by the age of 7 began acting in both French and English. She's taken her desire to play and her passion for art and performance to the stage, the camera, the studio, and the world!  Celina particularly loves collaborating with those who have a unique perspective on art & what it’s like to be a human being. She is known for her versatile dramatic acting, both in film and on stage. She loves taking on emotionally intense roles, as well as hopeful, joyous characters.
