Camila Aguais

artist

Based in Surrey, Camila is a teaching artist with a background in Fine Art and Art History, her work includes drawing, painting, printmaking and mixed media.

Colour, form and materiality are key threads of Camila's current practice. Whether through collage, printmaking, drawing or sculpture, paper takes a central role as both a surface and an object. Often creating series of small pieces that together form a larger work, Camila’s practice explores how colours, edges, drawn lines and different textures can interact with each other within the composition. The most basic and iconic shapes, such as the circle and the square, can present her with endless possibilities. These works provide spaces for the viewer to contemplate the rhythms and movements of colour and shape.

Camila was one of five young artists chosen to take part in a Residency in collaboration with Surrey Libraries as part of the Imagination Spaces Project.
