I am more than the sum of my scars, I am so much more involved than the disfigurment you think you left me with, you tried to re-arrange my truth by silencing and shaming, even abuse.

Informed by second wave feminism, Camilla seeks to expose the lie that is patriarchy and strengthen women & herself to believe in our power. Although pink is a heavily gendered colour, it also represents unconditional love, which is somthing that is foundational to all of my creative expression.Ĭamilla Strand is a multi disciplinary feminist artist working in the fields of art, music & writing. I made the face messy and unclear as a way to express the feeling of disintegration that occurs to my mental health as each new trauma is piled on. I also utilised a palette knife to scrape pink acrylic paint over the back as a nod to the violent enforcment of gendered stereotypes. I wanted to find a way to express my rage of the never-ending trauma of woman-hood via art. Inspired by the interaction of my body during the art process, HURT was created by using large sytreaks of black paint pen on pink card. HURT By Camilla Strand (2022) 59.4 x 84.1cm, acrylic and paint pens on card. I like to explore different mediums, different art, use recycled items, any subject and make what I feel. Being a person who likes a bit of this and a bit of that I don't like to put my art in a box and restrict myself.
I feel that my art is immature because of taking me a long time to get here, after working on it full time for 2 years I am excited at how far I have come and am excited to see wjere my gift will take me. I realised that this was not feeding my creative side. So I never had time for letting my creative side out. After surviving a crime early in life I focused on work, usually more than one job at a time. Which is why I sign all my pieces with a dragonfly so everyone can have a little piece of magic. I believe and feel that to create art is magicaland I hope each of my pieces people are able to feel that magic by stepping into another world through that piece. I have always been creative and drawn or painted all my life. Kintsugi Self Portrait - Broken is Beautiful By Ava Grayson (2022) 105 x 85cm, acrylic and oils on canvas.
