Ceora Derow is a New York City-based artist (currently living in Cleveland, OH) whose work spans the worlds of interior design and fine art painting. Growing up in the heart of Manhattan with a mother who was a fashion designer, Ceora Derow was immersed in a world of creativity from an early age. Frequent visits to the city's art museums and days spent shopping for fabrics for her mother's design collections shaped her appreciation for both art and design, sparking a lifelong passion for aesthetics, materials, and craftsmanship.

 

 

From these formative experiences, Ceora Derow developed a deep love for the intersection of form and function, and this became a core theme in her work. Drawing on her background in fashion and design, she seamlessly blends Post Modern Contemporary elements with Neo-Classical influences to create spaces and paintings that are both timeless and forward-thinking. Her approach emphasizes the idea of provenience—the story behind every object, every stroke, and every line—imparting a sense of narrative and history into the design.

 

In her interior design work, Ceora Derow seeks to create environments that are not only visually stunning but also deeply functional, where beauty enhances the experience of everyday life. Similarly, her paintings evoke a dialogue between the classical and the modern, inviting viewers to reflect on how design can transcend time, style, and utility.

 

For Ceora Derow, every project is a chance to merge personal history, creative intuition, and a commitment to craftsmanship into a harmonious whole, creating spaces and works of art that tell a story and serve a purpose.
