Valerie Camila is a Colombian-Canadian artist from Southern Alberta who lives and works in London. Her drawing and painting practice is characterised by moments of emotional perseverance and perceptive confusion. Camila is a contemplative storyteller and a celebrator of affection. Concerned with ambiguity, she reflects on human-nature relations, the vastness of introspective space, and the relationship between the self and parallel entities.

She holds an Honours BFA and a Certificate in Media Studies from Queen’s University and is currently an MFA candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has been exhibited across North America and featured in publications internationally. In 2023, she received the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant, and in 2024, she was awarded the Andre Bieler Prize.
