Camille Rousseau is a French artist, based between Amsterdam and Paris. She studied graphic design then specialised in film and 3D animation in Arles , in the south of France, before completing an MA in Communication and Design at Central St Martins in London. She creates using different mediums and with the use of varying materials. Her practice is grounded in the line. A single concern and a constant exploration that irrigates all her work, from commercial commissions to personal research. Driven by the need to unpack the behaviour and meaning of the mother of all gestures, her work resembles a form of meditation grounded in repetition and flow. She has covered a wide variety of clients in advertising, publishing, packaging, editorial, interior design, brand development.

“My role is to help people dream. To me, an artist is someone who blows you away in a split-second, leveraging space and lines. Being surprised is paramount to me. I actually feel best when visual accidents happen in my work. It sends me back to the basics: emotions and decisions. These are powerful levers that I try to emulate in abstract paintings, looking for the unexpected with a sense of balance and beauty."
