her professional career. Due to her versatile and chameleon-like personality, Celia's work is both
compelling and tenacious.
Celia strongly believes in the importance of theatre, which is why she began her acting career
onstage. Her performance on El Color de Agosto 2006, written by Paloma Pedrero, brought her
nominations for best actress to the most prestigious Spanish Theater awards; Valle Inclán award
and Mayte award.
In 2013, she landed the leading role on Los Cenci a play by Artaud at Teatro Español the most
legendary Spanish theatre; under the direction of Sonia Sebastian. Once again her performance
brought her a nomination as best actress for the Valle Inclán award
Celia's last work on the production of Mucho Ruido y Pocas Nueces or Much Ado About Nothing
2014, by Shakespeare; received both popular and critical acclaim. As a consequence of that
success, the play was nominated for an award at The International Almagro Classical Theatre
Festival.
In cinema, Celia's most important projects were in the films; De Chica en Chica, or Girl Gets
Girl 2015, by Sonia Sebastian, where she is also a producer. And Todo es Silencio 2011, by
José Luis Cuerda; where she played the lead along with Spanish actors Miguel Ángel Silvestre,
Quim Gutierrez, and Juan Diego.
However, Celia's breakthrough as a household name comes from her roles on TV shows. Celia
had the leading role on Seis Hermanas 2016, on Television Española/National Television; and on
Homicidios 2011, along with Spanish actor Eduardo Noriega. In addition, she was the leading
actress on the first Spanish web series, Girl Seeks Girl or Chica Busca Chica 2007; which was
released on DVD in the US by WolfeTV and is still available for sale on Netflix and Amazon.
As part of her commitment to the arts, Celia has also taken risks of her own, as she launched her
own production company, to bring to life projects she is passionate about. Her company,
Pocapena Producciones, has produced six theatre plays, three short films and the previously
mentioned feature film De Chica en Chica /Girl Gets Girl.
