Camilo Pinto

Camilo Pinto comes from a family of artists who inevitably influenced his creative sensibility. From a very young age, he began painting and sculpting works that soon became the fruit of admiration by experts and other artists. He studied Art at the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, Art History at the Externado University of Colombia and Fashion Design at La Salle College, experiences that he alternated with multiple exhibitions in Colombia, in galleries such as La Pared, Casa Cuadrada, La Cometa, Fenalco, Skandia, El Gato Gallery, beatBop, Museo La Presentación, among others. Abroad he has exhibited in Panama, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, New York, Mimi, London, and Tokyo, where his work continues to be projected internationally.
In 2012 he won first place at the "SUBA International Art Biennial" held in Colombia, with his work "Woman Looking Down," which took home honors from critics, the public, and the juries.
Camilo Pinto's work is meticulously created and is full of plastic and aesthetic content. Through it we can start from a glance to discover spaces in which we take an active part, physically and emotionally. It is part of our daily life, it is our ground pole.
It is here in this metaphorical space where we find the possibility of relating and creating stories, broadening visions, creating codes that in a certain way are a mental recreation: somewhere, in some memory, in a moment or in a dream. In a space to think, they are lines to write a thousand stories. They are a whole path to follow from the subtle and seductive position of an image.

Starting from the most intimate, from my painting studio, crowded with colors, pigments, spatulas, brushes and multiple smells, I begin to create my series "Reflections", where the woman is the protagonist, as it has been throughout my career as an artist. In this pictorial work the female gender emerges as an icon of sensuality, a sacred and aesthetic object.
Captured on wood or canvas and using various materials such as resins, metals, acrylics and paper, anonymous beings emerge, imaginary portraits that are perhaps unconsciously inspired by the Renaissance and Baroque portraits that wander through my imagination.
Women of unreal beauty and gazes lost in unusual spaces and great exotic color; with an important load of textures, gestures and color mix. Color created "in situ", mixing beeswax, turpentine, linseed oil, varnishes and pigments, giving rise to a careful technique, the result of constant work in the search for new plastic expressions.
Without many pretensions, I approach this subject with passion, looking for the common thread through a subtle reflection, to create a certain aesthetic reading when appreciating each work.
