“Born in 1981, Camilo Carreno-Gonzalez studied Visual Arts at Javeriana University in Bogota, Colombia.
Using primarily sketchbooks as a deliberate departure from grandiosity, his work has morphed into a celebration of ordinary life. Imbued with the nuanced perspective of an immigrant from Latin America, his intricate compositions invite viewers into a realm where the significance of minutiae takes center stage. Camilo’s art invites a contemplative exploration of the profound beauty inherent in life’s simple moments, rendered through a pencil.
He currently lives and works in Chicago, Illinois.”
