Pilar Camino Alcon

My name is Pilar Camino Alcon, aka Piluca, I was born in Madrid and have lived in Brixton, London, for the past 21 years. It was from a very early age that a felt an unstoppable drive to create, a feeling that has stuck with me ever since. Back in Spain, I studied Law at University but it was only after coming to London on a summer holiday that I found my calling. This is when my life changed as I made the firm decision to pursue my passion. The feeling of doing what I loved was just overwhelming. I enrolled on a two- year foundation course in Art & Design at Lambeth College and then went on to study Fine Art at Kingston Univeristy.

I express myself as an individual by conveying very personal statements using art as my preferred medium, unique in every way. Each piece of artwork I make, speaks a thousand words from my inner world. My style is me in the sense that like me, it is constantly evolving, changing and absorbing. I can be very meticulous and I can be spontaneous in the techniques and materials that I use, (I like to up-cycle and often use free materials salvaged from art transport cases from for my projects). I could never limit myself to one style, surface or place. Everything is a canvas for me.
