both their established and emerging artists
as well as catering to the needs of their
clients who include prominent decorators,

disciplines and offer a beautiful and

For our GRAND OPENING show, Cella
Gallery is proud to present the artwork of:
Miguel Osuna, Valentin Toledo and
Bryan Elliott.
Miguel Osuna
Born and raised in Mazatlan, Mexico, Miguel
Osuna received a degree in architecture from
U.A.G. in Guadalajara, before making Los
Angeles his home. Recently his works were
shown at the Istituto Cultural de Mexico and
the American University, in Washington D.C.
In 2006 he presented his solo exhibition,
“Landscape”, at the Mazatlan Museum of Art.
In addition to his museum shows, Osuna has
presented numerous solo exhibits throughout
California and his native Mexico and
participated in group shows in both the US
and Europe. His artwork has been featured in
many publications including ArtNews and Art
Ltd.
Valentin Toledo
Originally from Spain, Valentin Toledo spent
several years in Seville, Barcelona and
Madrid before making Los Angeles his home.
Toledo is a multi-faceted artist with a
broad spectrum of work experiences. He
worked as Art Director for prominent
European magazines including Vogue, Marie
Claire, and Elle. He worked as an
Illustrator for which he was awarded with
the LAUS prize for Outstanding Achievement
in Illustration, and as a Photographer,
receiving an award from the French Ministry
of Tourism. Toledo recently published a book
of photographs titled USA, which is
distributed exclusively in museums
throughout Europe and Asia. He his now most
recognized for his abstract works on glass.
Toledo’s paintings have shown in Madrid,
Barcelona, London, Seville, Paris,
Frankfurt, Los Angeles and New York.
Bryan Elliott
Bryan Elliott is an incredibly versatile,
self-taught photographer, accomplished
musician and professional music producer.
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, he first
became interested in photography while
playing with his mother’s camera without
permission. The unique style Elliott has
developed is completely contrived
“in-camera”, as he does not prescribe to the
logic of digital manipulation. Taking photos
with extremely slow shutter speeds, he
reveals more than just
a-split-second-in-time, his dreamlike photos
lay-bare moments that would otherwise be
ignored. Bryan lives his art, whether
capturing the beautiful sounds of the London
Symphony Orchestra or capturing the beauty
in the nature that surrounds him.
