Maria Camila Pabón draws her creative energy from the ordinary, finding profound beauty in the everyday objects and structures that surround us. With a keen eye for detail, she captures the essence of these elements— their shapes, rhythms, and the mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow.
In her artistic exploration, Pabón immerses herself in a world of surfaces, each revealing a kaleidoscopic array of patterns and textures upon closer examination. This process mirrors her own quest for meaning—a relentless pursuit of truth that continually unfolds and evolves.
At the heart of Pabón's practice lies geometric abstraction, where mundane objects transcend their original forms to become layered, multidimensional planes. Drawing from the rich tapestry of Colombian culture, she infuses her work with vibrant hues and intricate textures inspired by the country's diverse heritage, which presents indigenous, european and african elements.
Currently residing in Canada, Pabón's art serves as a bridge between two worlds—the tropical sensibility of her homeland and the structured order of her adopted country. It is a reflection on the universal language of geometry and abstraction, intertwined with personal narratives and a sense of longing for the familiar.
