About CAMILLA HOWALT
CROSS-SECTIONS OF FRAGMENTED SENSUALITY, UNFOLDED UP CLOSE, MAPPED & TRACED
As a visual artist, I move between painting, drawing, textiles, and photography, using memory and imagery drawn from both observed and imagined cultural landscapes. My work weaves these elements together to explore the fluidity of perception and the complexity of experience.
Through my practice, I aim to evoke a sense of reverence and contemplation, inviting the viewer to engage with the layers of meaning that connect us to the world around us. Each mark, each gesture, is a reflection of the quiet power found in moments of observation, offering an opportunity to pause and witness the unfolding of life’s complexities.
Camilla Howalt (b. 1968) is a Malmö-based artist working across painting, textiles, and photography. She graduated with First-Class Honours from Wimbledon School of Art and later completed an MA at Kingston University’s Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy, establishing her studio practice in 2003.
Exploring the boundaries between abstraction and reality, her work blends traditional painting methods, photographic transfers, embroidery techniques, and digital processes. Drawing from her extensive travels across European, American, and African cultures, Camilla’s practice creates an interplay of technique, texture, and visual depth, merging abstraction and figuration.
Working within the tradition of painting while embracing contemporary approaches, her compositions range from highly structured to spontaneous, layered pieces. Camilla’s work is part of private collections across Europe, and her prints are available for purchase, bringing her distinct, contemplative style to spaces seeking both aesthetic richness and thoughtful engagement.
