Multimedia Artist
São Paulo, Brasil
Biography
Camila Crivelenti is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Cotia, SP. With a degree in Product Design and Art Direction, she has always moved between manual and digital productions.
Your artistic research is aligned with your spiritual inquiries and the development of your own symbolism to access the unconscious beyond the timeline and existence. Your projects have been part of exhibitions in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Madrid, and Turin.
With the aim of connecting psychological archetypes, self-knowledge, and spirituality, their works explore various techniques and materials, moving between the concepts of amulets, oracles, and ancestry in order to capture the wisdom contained in the essence of Life.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic research is focused on observing the subtle energies of the materials I use in my projects and on using symbols as a language for this experimentation. My works are extensions of my unconscious, laboratories for an initiatory path, keys to self-knowledge, and amulets that reawaken in me the strength to exist.
I pass this forward in the form of texts, paintings, installations, sculptures, videos, objects, and whatever else is necessary to invite the observer to interact with other possible universes around them and, in doing so, to observe themselves as well.
Art has always been a means of communication between universes for me, research has always been a method of approaching them, and sharing what I discover with others is the motivation that drives me beyond what I can comprehend.

Work as an amulet
Totems are works made for certain functions, as in the concepts of amulets, consecrated objects, ritualistic objects, talismans, etc.
Just like all artistic production, the totems stem from the artist's intuition, portraying the energetic aspects of each material used and with the intention of specific functions, such as: bringing protection, maintaining harmony, or recalling memories.

Hierophany
Camila Crivelenti Solo Exhibition, 2022
The Hierophany exhibition deals with the manifestation of the sacred in the concrete world through symbols. The sacred as a function of giving meaning to profane things, and symbols as the link connecting the two worlds.
The term hierophany was coined by Mircea Eliade in "Traité d’histoire des religions" (1949) (from the Greek "hieros" (ἱερός) = sacred and "phaneia" (φαίνειν) = to manifest) and can be defined as the act of manifestation of the sacred. The word was chosen as the title of the exhibition because it features objects and symbols that remind us of a memory or a value that connects us to our essence.
