Camilla Engstrom
(Born 1989, Sweden)

Bio
Camilla Engstrom's practice encompasses painting, drawing, and sculpture. She explores autobiographical issues and topics through humor, bizarre realities, and figurative expression. Based on real life experiences, Engstrom uses her work as a diary and an outlet for processing events. In her work we meet Husa - a cartoon character Camilla created in 2015. Husa is confident, gender-bending, amorphous character often found naked. Engstrom's work is influenced by popular culture, sitcoms, and iconic female artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Marie-Louise Ekman. Engstrom lives and works in New York. She had her first solo show at Deli Gallery (Queens, NY) in 2016 and her work has been included in group exhibitions around the world.
