Overview

Camilo Sanin was born in Bogota Colombia. He now resides in Baltimore, â?¨Maryland and will receive his M.F.A. from Maryland Institute College â?¨of Art in the spring of 2011. Saninâ??s paintings are subtle geometric â?¨abstractions that use line, color, and form to challenge our â?¨preconceived visual ideals. Sanin combines deeply felt personal â?¨experiences with complex perceptual experiences; thereby creating a â?¨new narrative that resonates with the viewer. His work has been â?¨included in numerous shows in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and â?¨Florida.

Professor Jennifer Cognard-Black writes, â??Camilo Sanin rethinks line and bar, this time to reveal the components of things. With smooth and glossy strokes, Saninâ??s paintings seem pressed between glass slides: a butterflyâ??s wing, a beetleâ??s back, a droplet of teeming water. Beautiful and exact as snowflakes, Saninâ??s images return usâ?¦to microscopic views. We are asked to look again â?? and look more closely.â?

Overview

For the most part, my art delves into the realm of geometric abstraction seeking the establishment and understanding of basic principles such as order and harmony through line and color. As such, I use ideas, tools and technical skills that allow me to remove the immediacy between myself, the artist, and the final piece. The goal is to enhance the reception and further exploration of shared human emotions through the many and ever present relationships between width, value, hue and intensity without urging the viewer to become cognizant of a â??maker.â? Emotion is thus carefully controlled and molded to serve in the paintings not only as a potent carrier of human expression, but as a critical exponent of perceived principles within the realm of order and harmony.
