ARTIST STATEMENT | Camille Salvador

My work is perception displayed.

My practice spans three bodies of work.

Chaos Theory is large-format mixed media - acrylic and ink on paper. The structured chaos of expressionist abstraction filtered through a synesthetic mind.

Surrealist Drawing Series is automatic drawing - lines that begin without intention and arrive somewhere I didn't plan. Absurdist on the surface, structural underneath.

The Chroma Series is photography: light and color as they actually exist, not as I experience them.

Three languages. One practice. All of it rooted in New York City.

ABOUT CAMILLE SALVADOR

I was born and raised in New York City. I have synesthesia, a neurological condition where the senses cross-wire, which means I perceive people, places, and spaces as specific colors. That's the science of it.

But perception is only half of it. My intuition is what reads what I see. The color arrives, and something in me already knows what it means, the information behind it, the story it's carrying. I don't analyze it. I translate it.

That's where the work comes from. Synesthesia supplies the color. Intuition supplies the meaning.

Paint is how I get it out.
