The year 2013 begins with a solo show at the Archaeological Museum of Naples entitled ASH Ancient Super Heroes, where Bufano reported the heroes of classical antiquity in a modern context. At the end of the same year, she exhibits at the Musivum Gallery in Moskow the series Metropolitan.

The poetic that characterizes the work of Celesta Bufano is based on the combination of single-all, micro-macro. The painting is therefore understood as a deconstruction and reconstruction of reality where every part is functional to the whole that composes it. The pictures of the Bufano are also based on the distance-proximity: what the eye looks closely decomposed into many small parts, such as the pixels of a digital image, from a distance appears in all its entirety. Micro-macro, single-all, near-far, between these opposites is defined and divided the entire pictorial poetry and imaginative of Celesta Bufano.

She frequently depicts pieces of daily life in her works. Such as freeze frames of reality, sequences  of life that flow and on which she focused with paintings characterized by vivid colors and a unmistakable and unique style.
