Cecilia Roser, known professionally as Ce Roser, has been an active artist in New York City since the 1960s. While studying in Berlin, she was profoundly influenced by Käthe Kollwitz—an artist renowned for her dedication to her practice until she died. Roser aspired to emulate Kollwitz’s unwavering commitment and often emphasized the need for young artists, especially women, to find a fitting mentor. Roser studied under Japanese calligrapher Hidai Nankoku during his New York City visit and transferred the experience of rendering abstract characters on paper to painting on canvas.
