From above, Camila bends over a green cutting mat, long brown hair hiding her face, cutting a strip of a magazine face with a craft knife.
The Art of Art, collage: a blue cloudy sky with cut-out words This is Art, TAKE a harder look HONEY, a butterfly and a quill.

I make worlds out of fragments.

Original pop surrealist collage, handmade mixed media art in Miami from recycled magazines. Each piece is born out of one unique emotion.

Camila Castillo

I’m Camila Castillo, a Venezuelan collage artist based in Miami. I was raised between languages and places, and I find collage serves perfectly to express the human experience because we are all assembled from fragments. My work lives where pop surrealism meets handmade, tactile collage, built to help us feel more and recognize each other across any border.

The work

  • Be You, collage: a woman in pink satin hides her face behind a ringed hand, with a photographer on a rainbow flag and the letters BE YOU.
  • Society, collage: wave-cut bands of snowy mountains, a city skyline and a snow-covered town, dotted with small cut-out people.
  • Senor Tigre, collage: a laughing woman in a white swimsuit on a jungle veranda pets a tiger; more tigers prowl along the bottom.
  • Female Cactus, collage: a green cactus cut from ruched fabric, with paper thorns and pink flowers, rising from sandy rock on white paper.
  • Gaga's Offering, collage: a pink-haired woman in a red horned headpiece holds an upside-down red figure, under purple glitter stars.
  • Let Out, collage: a red profile shouting inside a jagged burst, a black-and-white face with closed eyes, banknotes and red letters Let Out.
