Camilla Engström
2 collaborations
Two words sum up the work of Camilla Engström – sumptuous and surreal. Breasts drip milk from the sky and curvaceous women bask in the sun or enjoy lush bowls of fruit. Without any formal art training, Engström has developed her painting from intuition. She meditates every day and doodles all the time in her sketchbook. These drawings are then transferred onto canvas using light brushwork in oil paint. This soft-contoured style is influenced by a range of artists. In particular, Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson and American painter Georgia O’Keefe. The graphic natural landscapes also nod to Henri Rousseau, a post-impressionist painter from the 1800s.
