Camilla Mihkelsoo is a visual artist who lives and works in Sicily, Italy. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki in 2020 and from the Free Art School in Helsinki in 2014. In her figurative oil paintings, she places the human being in the centre, in the subtle ambivalence that is characteristic to her figures. Drawing inspiration from found imagery and films, she portrays people, humanity and related themes. In her recent works figures are displayed in monochrome spaces that seem like staged. The characters are looking past or straight at the viewer, waiting for something to happen, somewhere in-between presence and absence.
