Art We Surprised 2023

Yenis Camargo

Hi, my name is Yenis Camargo. I am from Colombia. I am a Social Psychologist. In addition, I define myself as passionate about painting. I have always been amazed by artistic painting. My work is inspired by nature. I love to paint flowers, birds, paths and windows. I fully enjoy the time spent painting. In my canvases, you can see bright colours, a lot of texture, harmony, movement and detail. For me, painting is a form of communication, in which I express feelings, thoughts and inspirations. A finished work has embodied unrepeatable moments and these remain open to the interpretation of who observes it.

My Garden’s Flowers is a spring-inspired piece. Before I moved to Canada I was looking for information about this city. I was very happy to learn that St. Catharines is officially known as the Garden City. Today is the opportunity to express through my painting how much I enjoy this season. I love seeing the splendour of flowers, their colours, and smells, and how their beauty accompanies us these days. My hands enjoy taking the brushes, spatulas, and paints to capture a bit of them on a surface. With this piece, I share my love for nature and invite you to enjoy it and take care of it.
