Juan Camilo Álvarez Vasquez

Camilo Álvarez (Medellin, 1974), living and working in Medellin-Colombia.

My work is a search of unknown places within me, where silence helps me approach different inner drama states, when pain transcends into pleasure. These are interpreted by sensations wandering between the figurative and the abstract, with geometric tones, suspended into silence.
The technique is presented as a consequence of expression, the relation that links me to my artwork. It all begins with a graphite pencil, an obsessive ritual in which the meticulous outlines become the skin, a layer that allows its soul to be seen.
