María Camila Duque’s work explores the intersection between the digital and the analog, highlighting how these two realms influence each other in contemporary art. With a background in psychology and fine arts, María Camila is interested in the effects of screens and social media, particularly Instagram, on our perception and the creative processes of artists.
From the beginning, María Camila has seen painting as much more than just a means of expression: it is an ideal medium for experimenting with textures, shapes, and unpredictable behaviors. Her work combines algorithm-generated digital prints with pictorial gestures that incorporate chance and physicality, creating a dialogue between the ideal and chaos, the virtual and the tangible. This combination of elements challenges the superficiality and rigidity of the digital, while reaffirming the importance of materiality in painting.
