Born in 1989 in Lorena, Brazil, Camila, now based in Hamburg, Germany, is a self-taught artist and illustrator exploring the sense of discomfort and displacement she experienced as a queer individual.

Informed by her scientific background, Camila's art is marked by experimentation, deliberately emphasizing imperfections through messy linework and visible fingerprints. This approach is evident in the chaotic layering of marks, encouraging viewers to examine each piece for overlooked details. Her work delves into the constant cycle of attempting, failing, restarting, and exploring—familiar to those in the search for their true identity. In her work, she prompts questions about loss, memory, and unlearning.

A fossil enthusiast and collector, in the 2023 body of work, Camila explores her connection with maritime fossils prevalent in the Baltic Sea region. These minuscule, distorted remnants mirror the struggles of those concealing their authentic self.  Camila is interested in trying to make sense of what seems abstract or unclear and question our perception whether looking at fossils or ourselves. Questions like “How much is lost? How much can be reconstructed? How much we can stretch things before they become unrecognizable?” surround her work. 

She employs pencil, oil pastel, and acrylic paint on surfaces like canvas, paper, or wood, continuously experimenting with materials such as clay, collage, and wood carving. Recently, she participated in the "Anonymous Drawings" exhibition at HYCP Gallery in Hamburg and in "The F*WORD: Guerilla Girls & Feminist Graphic Design" exhibition at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
