Press Release
Camila Manero’s photographs have an earthy yet elegant texture that pulls them out of the two-dimensional realm and into the realm of sensory experience. Whether working with Hollywood memorabilia or architecture, Manero imbues her subjects with a subtle sense of motion—everything and everyone seems to be slowly moving through a dreamscape of ethereal colors and surfaces. An artist who reads narratives into objects and nature, she is able to take a simple shape and give it a history, an aura and a sense of purpose. Her technical experimentation also enhances the multi-dimensional, sensorial quality of her work, as she works in both analog and digital photography and with alternative photographic methods.
Manero, who began her aesthetic explorations as a dancer, turned to photography when she realized it offered a wealth of opportunities for someone who enjoyed exploring motion and texture. Her English, Mexican and Spanish background has given her a unique cultural outlook and she aims to bring viewers a new sense of the world’s beauty.
Artist Statement
I enjoy constructing textured images, filled with subtle emotion and dramatic management of color, using different subjects and abstract concepts. My photographic work contains different treatments both analog and digital, where the contrast, shape and color seduction are translated to express my perception of the aesthetic and artistic beauty I find in every form. Confident of my artistic expression in to abstract and conceptual trends has given me great freedom to manifest myself as an avant-garde photographer that merges visual concepts, so I reach to expand the meaning of ordinary frames into enriched shaped images filled with vibrant energy, integrating them in a pictorial way.
