Camila Barreto (Bogotá, 1982) creates a profoundly organic, material, and intuitive body of work that unfolds between painting, installation, and the expansion of the pictorial into the symbolic and corporeal. Her practice is characterized by sensitive abstraction that does not seek to represent, but to embody: translating intimate experiences, such as motherhood, desire, resilience, memory, and introspection, into visual gestures that oscillate between restraint and overflow.
Camila Barreto's work maps out a fertile territory where abstraction becomes body, material becomes memory, and the pictorial gesture is a vital act: a way to reinhabit the world through the fold, through silence, through what trembles.
