Cece Delgado is a Bolivian artist who writes and draws comics.
She was born in La Paz, Bolivia, but grew up, studied, and works in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
Career
Delgado published her first comics in Bolivian magazines in 2007.[1]
In 2009, she won a scholarship with seven other young Bolivian artists to participate in a cultural exchange and be part of The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. This experience led to the production of a short firm called La Abuela Grillo.[1]
In 2010, Delgado presented her first Keila and Keisy comic at an opening event for Comics Week at the Simon I Center.[2] With this comic, she had developed a saga of stories with these characters, between the art and the narrative. In 2012, a short film version of this project won a prize for best short national film at the International Film Festival of Santa Cruz (FENAVID).
In 2016, she published a book of stories, titled El viaje de la noche, in which she explores a fantasy narrative with philosophical themes.[1] The stories are accompanied with her own images, in a style inspired by the works of William Blake.
In 2019, Delgado introduced the experimental comic Drama Pink, a collaboration with the Mexican artist Stephanie Clark. In Drama Pink, they explore diverse concepts related to autism and the feminine perspective.
Personal life
Delgado was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in 2019.[1][3]
