About THEARTIST.NYC

CAMILLE SALVADOR | ARTIST

I'm a New York City based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, photography and digital art.

I work primarily on large paper surfaces through a fast, intuitive painting process. Each piece begins with spontaneous drawing and painting, allowing images to emerge instinctively. After this initial burst of energy, the work is revisited more slowly, clarifying forms and relationships that appeared during the first stage.

The paintings are not planned. I never know what will come out.

There is one thing that reoccurs though... Can you see it?

Almost hidden, very small little things I call "The Birds." It isn't my intention to make metaphysical artwork, nor am I trying to be serious.

The Birds break that. They are my intentional touch to work that might otherwise seem too serious.

What are The Birds up to? What are they? That's open to your interpretation.

Can you find them?

In my photography, I always struggled with indecision, black and white or color? Born from that indecision is The Chroma Series: black and white photography interrupted by its own oversaturated color version.
