Camila Salinas (b. 2004) is an American painter based in Texas, and currently pursuing her BFA in Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her practice engages with themes of nostalgia, memory, and identity through the means of self-portraiture. She primarily uses acrylic and oil paint to capture intricate details from her current and past life experiences. Camila works from imagination, memory, and photos, using realism as a way to document and archive her life through painting.
Apart from being an artist and full-time student, Camila has amassed over 2.4 million followers across platforms from documenting her painting process and personality. She began to gain traction on social media through her pieces about teenage life during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2022, and since then her work has been showcased in several exhibitions nationally.
