Camila, selects materials which highlight the bold colors and exaggerated shapes of classic desserts.
Utilizing such materials as fiber reinforced resins, which are later hand-painted in order to attain a surreal glow, proof is given that her art is a matter of taste.
Another unique aspect of Camila’s sculptures is that touching is encouraged as much as changing what the pieces are wearing by adding a new scarf, fishnet stockings or sneakers to enter their whimsical world.
Camila’s mentor who spoke of her as “The Salvador Dalí of Desserts” was the famous David Ferguson of San Francisco (Wikipedia), who has worked with both Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat.
In 2017 Camila Valdez was honoured for the fifth year in a row by the National Salon of Visual Arts in Argentina www.palaisdeglace.gob.ar She is the youngest person selected in the 106 year history of the Salon.
In October 2019, Camila Valdez exhibited her artworks among the great masters Salvador Dali and Wayne Thiebaud at the Bedford Gallery Lesher Center for the Arts, in Walnut Creek, California. The exhibition gathered renowned contemporary artists such as Dennis Wojtkiewicz, Jae Yong Kim and Kenny Scharf.
Following the exhibition, Camila was invited by the Women’s Artistic Alliance – Diablo Regional Arts Association USA to dissertate about her creations.
