Camila Varon Interviewed by Mercer Contemporary

Mercer Contemporary has recently featured our artist, Camila Varon in their “Artists to Watch” section. They discussed Camila’s working practice, themes in her work, and her upcoming future projects. 

Camila was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and relocated to New York in 2013 to study architecture at Parsons School of Design, where she is presently completing an MFA. Over the last eight years, she has worked as an architect, designer, and artist in a variety of professions.

Her latest work is characterized by brightly colored paintings and surreal scenes created from memory, as well as site-specific installations and tiny objects that create a conversation between architecture and art.
