Camille Kouyoumdjian

My artistic process is deeply intertwined with my connection to the environment. The experience of standing before the unknown, with its simultaneous sense of awe and trepidation, resonates within me and is reflected in all of my work. An unexplored landscape, like a blank canvas, poses a fundamental question: Will I succumb to fear and turn away, or will I bravely plunge into the depths of the unfamiliar, embracing whatever lies ahead? Immersing myself in nature and interpreting it through art offers me a profound opportunity to build connections between the chaos of the outside world and the deeply human response it evokes within me. The canvas becomes a conduit, a medium through which I bridge the external realm with my inner emotions and perceptions. It serves as a powerful tool to express and interpret the profound beauty and complexity of nature. At times, my artwork encapsulates the essence of a particular scene, inviting the viewer to share in the experience of that precise moment. However, as I delve deeper into my creative process, I find myself moving away from literal representation. My work evolves into a more abstract manifestation, transcending the boundaries of a specific place. I tap into the realm of memory and emotion, infusing the canvas with the intangible aspects of human experience. The landscape becomes a metaphor, a vehicle through which I convey the depth and breadth of my thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. 

I strive to create a sense of connection, timelessness, and hope for the future through my art.
