camilo toro, Germany
Camilo Toro is a Colombian painter educated in Germany. Much of his work its about live, pictorial reflexions about what happens and what surrounds us, humans. He makes despite a great effort not to put these reflexions so directly so there is enough space at long last to just watch the painting and its basis: forms, colors and material processing. It would be fair to say that his Work sway between abstract and conceptual painting. The main source for his colors it's his intuition, which he owns to his Colombian background where contrast and colorfulness are the rule, his material processing is a result of years of experience of work with the oil painting, where he experiments with thickness and mediums, the forms are achieved after a long process of abstraction in which he starts with a very realistic representation and after a couple of pictures they lost their real form in order to give place to their painted form, then a brushstroke its more important than a feature. And so are his paintings created a mixture or metaphor and allusions that can be taken as a made up reflection of the reality. What is known in the Colombian arts as magical realism.
