Camila Valdez is an industrial designer and artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina who blends both of her professions to create hyper realistic leggy dessert sculptures in table-top and human scale size. Her sculptures are inspired by the secret esthetics of everyday products. Objects, in this case desserts, express their feelings to Camila through their colors, shapes and styles. She says “If a Cupcake is good looking eyecandy, it’s saying come and get me!”” When constructing her anthropomorphic sweet treats, Camila selects materials which highlight the bold colors and exaggerated shapes of classic desserts. Utilizing such materials as fiberglass and epoxy resins, which are later hand-painted in order to attain a surreal glow, proof is given that her art is a matter of taste. In Japan and China, Camila Valdez is known as “Dessert Girl” because of her whimsical exploration of childhood fantasies mixed with cutting edge surrealism. Another unique aspect of Camila’s sculptures is that they are intended to invite the audience to interact with them. Touching is encouraged as much as changing what the pieces are wearing by adding a new scarf, fishnet stockings or sneakers to help one enter Camila’s world. Camila’s mentor who speaks of her as “The Salvador Dalí of Desserts” was the famous David Ferguson of San Francisco, who has worked with both Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat. In 2016 Camila Valdez was honoured for the fourth year in a row by the National Salon of Visual Arts in Argentina. www.palaisdeglace.gob.ar She is the youngest person selected in the 105 year history of the Salon. ** Honours and Awards ** 2016 – Mention – Diploma in º105 National Salon of Visual Arts – Palais de Glace – Argentina – Sculpture: “Do not Donut” 2015 – Selected in º104 National Salon of Visual Arts – Palais de Glace – Argentina – Sculpture: “Feeling the filling” 2014 – Selected in º103 National Salon of Visual Arts – Palais de Glace – Argentina – Sculpture: “Bombona Prima” 2013 – Selected in º102 National Salon of Visual Arts – Palais de Glace – Argentina – Sculpture: “Bombona XL” ***** In 2015 Camila Valdez and her artworks debuted in USA.
