Camila Pabón

Camila Pabón is a Colombian-born artist whose work explores the intersection of

structure, materiality, and cultural identity. Now based in Canada, she blends

the vibrant aesthetics of her Latin American heritage with a minimalist sensibility,

uncovering hidden patterns in everyday forms. Her background in architecture

plays a crucial role in her approach, guiding her exploration of geometry,

repetition, and transformation.

Through her work, Pabón investigates how perception shifts as structures unfold,

revealing layers of meaning within rigid forms. She integrates diverse materials—

acrylics, rust dust, concrete—creating textures that invite viewers to engage with

surfaces both visually and emotionally. By bridging past and present, precision

and spontaneity, she constructs a dialogue that challenges how we see and

interact with our surroundings.

Camila Pabón’s work is an exploration of structure, perception, and

transformation. Rooted in geometric abstraction, her practice deconstructs

everyday objects and architectural forms, revealing the hidden rhythms and

patterns within. She seeks to capture the way structures unfold—both physically

and metaphorically—inviting viewers to engage with the unseen forces that

shape their surroundings.

​

Her Colombian heritage informs her use of colour, texture, and materiality,

drawing from indigenous, European, and African influences that merge within

her compositions. Meanwhile, her experience in Canada introduces a

counterbalance—an emphasis on precision, restraint, and spatial clarity. This

tension between spontaneity and control, between intuition and order, is

central to her artistic process.

By working with surfaces that invite close examination—layered textures, shifting

planes, and the interplay of light and shadow—Pabón challenges the viewer’s

perception, creating a dynamic experience where meaning is continuously

revealed and redefined.
