Biomorphic
Biomorphic art, from 'bios' (life) and 'morphe' (form), relates to abstract shapes or images that resemble naturally occurring forms, such as body parts.
Despite its scientific sound, the term was initially used to describe biomorphic art in the context of the Cubism and Abstract Art exhibition of 1936 at MoMA.

Island Creators
Ecological empowerment surges through Camilla Engström’s idyllic islandscape.In Island Creators, warm sunlight catches upon gently puffing volcanoes, soft-edged terrain and shimmering pools of water. Painted in earthy pink tones, a figurative portrait peacefully resides within a volcano, her downcast eyes survey the biomorphic landscape unfolding in front of her. Embossment texturally lifts the smoke trails and rolling hills, whilst gloss is applied to areas of water, enhancing the reflective light cast by the setting sun.“Colours are everything. They’re healing to me.”
Yellow Moon

Abstract shapes take on figurative forms – tree branches boldly reaching out over rolling mountains. Soothing earth tones nod to Engström's re-connection with the natural world under lockdown. As ever, she paints from the perspective of a visitor in mother nature’s home.
