Camille Engel Bio
Named one of our nation's "Artists to Watch" by "Southwest Art Magazine" and "Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine", Camille Engel is internationally acclaimed, published, and awarded.
A self-taught oil painter known for her passionate nature paintings with rich lighting, colors, textures, and intricate detail, Engel works in the "indirect layering" technique of the Dutch Masters to create her art. Pursuing the aims of the realist movement, her oil paintings are accepted among some of the world's top artists into prestigious museum tours and art exhibitions from Santa Fe to New York City and Europe, winning numerous awards along the way. a well published artist, you will find her paintings in national and international magazines several time each year. These include "American Art Collector", American Artist", Fine Art Connoisseur", "International Artist", Southwest Art", The Artist's Magazine", and "Western Art Collector". Camille's paintings are being commissioned and acquired by private collections, prominent corporations, and museums.
Oil paintings by Camille Engel extol the splendor the artist sees in everyday objects. Revealing a life captivated by detail, her intricate works focus attention upon the lush colors and textures found in the most unheralded subjects. An acute observer of detail; of the minutiae overlooked by many, Engel is amazed and fascinated with light play, color, and texture, seeking to capture the richness of life. Each painting invites the viewer to step momentarily into her world and share in her joy of the simple things and experience the transcendent beauty all around us.
What inspires Engel the most is not a singular cultural message, nor even the master painters she admires; but rather her core beliefs. "For me," Engel explains, "every morning is a fresh opportunity to find extraordinary joy in the most ordinary things. My art overflows out of that joy".
