The two-headed twins Cynthia and Celinde feature repeatedly in the artist’s iconography. They took shape through her fascination with the American Siamese twins Abby and Brittany Hensel. Crespo’s work looks at what appears to be both on the margins of art and of society, and reflects a changing world.

Andrea Crespo

Andrea Crespo's fascinating world is populated by a variety of characters and avatars that feature in animated films, prints on fabric, drawings and installations.
