MAICO CAMILO
’Living life in Colour’ Exhibition
What can we expect to see in this upcoming exhibition?
Going back to the inspiration for this exhibition, the works are constructed around large, childlike faces, each one representing a different character. Each character in turn represents a type of person in our world, but in a primitive way. There is a real naivety to the works, and yet at the same time each character draws us into their own story.
Tell us more about your creative process?
I always start with chaos. I start with more and delete! It never ends with the way I start. I need to feel the work as I go along. In this case, I had to delete a lot more than usual, to get to the minimalistic and primitive effect that I wanted.
Who and what inspires your artwork? Karel Appel, Picasso, Matisse and De Kooning.
What do you think it is about your work that immediately captures the hearts of collectors?
Ultimately I believe it is the size, scale and impact of the works. It is bold, it tells a story and I think that captures the hearts and minds of people. For those buyers that I have been fortunate enough to actually talk with, in some way they have personally connected with the artwork. And that gives me great satisfaction.
