Raising questions is the motivating force behind my artwork and the basis for its imagery. How does one find balance in this time of rapid change…between knowing and not knowing…between being physically part of nature, yet intellectually removed from it? I have explored these themes over the years by using symbols, juxtaposing geometric and biomorphic shapes, combining styles, and mixing media.

Coroto: Masks of Power | David Camero
May 24 – June 23, 2024
Reception: May 30, 4 -6 pm
Camero’s pieces are masks that draw inspiration from the cultural celebrations during Corpus Christi in the Venezuelan town of Yare. Camero's work breathes life into symbolic representations of power, in reference with the current socio-political landscape of South America.
The artist intertwines elements of ritual and satire, utilizing masks as a medium to commentate on the turbulent political climate. Through these intricately crafted masks, Camero caricatures and satirizes
figures involved in the modern and contemporary Venezuelan narrative, shedding light on the crisis that
has unfolded within the nation.
