Notes
Spatial Illusion N.2 explores duality, angular symmetry and perspective, focusing on dark tonality relating to atmospheric conditions and distorted reality. My abstract works start as hand drawings, after which I develop into digital artworks or paintings.
Camila Quintero's artworks are colourful space explorations. Through shapes, colours, and minimal lines, the visual artist investigates the relationship between the elements and their surroundings. Currently based in London, Quintero holds a MA in Visual Arts from UAL / Camberwell College of Arts and a BA in Graphic Design. Her artistic practice challenges the viewer's perception, creating three-dimensional compositions, with imperfect perspectives, distortions, and deconstructions. The result is an aesthetically abstract and geometric style that provokes a surreal sense of estrangement. Quintero works on colours and composition, drawing on both the great masters of Abstract Art and the functional shapes of Bauhaus, weaving a fruitful dialogue between art, design, photography, and architecture. Her acrylic on canvas paintings and digital prints on paper or Dibond show her interdisciplinary approach. Her paintings search for formal balances and spatial discovery.
