Camila Varon Featured in Air Mail News

The Air Mail News features VillageOneArt collaborative artist Camila Varon in their Culture Matrix section. The press praised Camila for using the magical realist movement in Latin American literature and saw fantastical elements placed within mundane daily life in her work.

Raised in Bogotá, Colombia, Camila moved to New York in 2013 to study Architecture at Parsons School of Design and is currently pursuing an MFA at the School of Visual Arts. Working as an architect, designer, and artist over the past 8 years her work covers a wide range of disciplines.

In most recent years, her work has been characterized by paintings with bright colors and dreamlike scenarios painted from memory, along with site-specific installations and small objects that engage back and forth between architecture and art.

Camila’s work is a statement on the importance of believing in creating a world of our own to change the world around us consequently. The work invites the viewer to peek into her world, filled with the nostalgia of innocent and playful childhood memories that permeate the image through surrealist panoramas.
