| Camilo Velasquez Contemplating by S.Lyon |
A
series of monologues and dialogues on life and death, love and loss,
Velasquez’ work combines imagery, text, and assemblage in a
sophisticated network of juxtapositions to produce stunning visual
creations.
“I
like to write and tell stories. I enjoy making things. I enjoy taking
pictures. Somehow along the process, it all comes together,” says
Velasquez. “I rely on a mixture of prose and poetry for concept and
symbolism,” he continues. “If I had to label my work, I would say it is
Confidential Narrative. It’s no secret that art is synonymous with
communication and life, and that words are not neutral. The word
narrative implies a story, and confidential has connotations of trust,
intimacy or confession. The essence of Confidential Narrative is in many
ways like compressing a story into a song; it’s the distillation and
untangling of life’s convoluted experiences for the purpose of making
sense of it all.” Camilo Velasquez
