Camille Theodet

Born in 1995 in the suburb of Paris, France, Camille did his Fine Art studies (bachelor) first, before entering a private school of special effects make-up. After playing with different mediums and trying ways to express himself, it became clear that painting and drawing were the main mediums to be used. He decided to move to Berlin in 2017, where he is now residing and working.

Camille's work is always influenced by the classical and religious paintings of art history. He is working with airbrush, acrylic painting on canvas. By creating a juxtaposition between past and present, he proposes a sarcastic and provocative vision of what was considered appropriate, sacred and beautiful in art history, and creates new stories from what has existed. This can be the merge of different pieces from different artists, or simply adding a few details that can change the whole meaning of the piece. He is mixing a classical style of painting with modern codes and techniques to explore subjects such as religion, feminism, the human hidden needs and vices, maternity and gender.
