Camilo Villanueva’s work is representative of the fascinating field referred to as “Transpersonal Art.” He is a master of shape and form, which he uses to encompass colors never before seen on an artist’s palette. His work reflect’s “Chaos theory’s Fractals and Holograms”, giving each panting unique dimensions that add to its distinctiveness. It is “transpersonal” in the sense that it contains content that is spiritual in nature, displaying its roots in Nature, both that found out-of-doors and in the depths of the human psyche, leaving his viewers inspired as well as transcendent.

Camilo Villanueva lived for a few years in the Córdoba mountains in Argentina.(VGB) I have been to Argentina and Cordova and I can see how and why he communes so effortlessly with the vast, hurtling galaxies of the immensity of the universe from his privileged perch and station in a Panoptic Tower on our minuscule planet. The organic and inorganic, zoomorphic, theriomorphic and anthropomorphic, geometric and shapeless merge, mutate and whirl in the polychromatic world created by him through art, to evoke an intimation of this immense universe, and, to establish a kinship between the phenomenal and noumenal, the human and the supra human, the corporeal and incorporeal. Camilo’s art should help salvage the human being from the hubris of assuming supremacy over nature, restore the sense in humanity of being part rather than weaver of the web of nature, and help rescue humanity from the nemesis of self extinction.

Camilo expresses his unique creative power with paintings that impress with his super suggestive chromatic games, while sliding the observer inside passages that call him to be a part, evoking states of expanded consciousness that transcend the boundaries of the immediate real. His “initiatory” art, suggested in several of the titles of his works, is fully deployed in the motives that resonate with the profound conception of his work, giving account of both the author’s very personal searches, as

Entering Camilo Villanueva’s work is like embarking on a transpersonal enthogenic voyage. I suggest you listen to Snatam Kaur as you unhurriedly visit his paintings letting yourself be inspired by what they may awaken in you. You will be surprised of what you can find. Camilo’s work is a stepping stone to the liberation of the collective unconscious where we all are, transcending ego-separateness”.

Your work has deeply touched me. You are an excellent, profound and mysterious painter who has a great command of colours. You can draw from the Inner world which is very difficult to attain with the strong colours you choose. Besides, your work reminds me of what Freud said about the “Oceanic Feeling”: Everyone in one, as a spiritual continuity.

Your art, it is very strong geometrically and carries a very powerful spiritual openness and sophistication. The contrasts in color and shape speak to me of the serious contrast we deal with in life and yet the harmony in the art reminds us our lives can be harmonious even with contrast of pain and suffering that visits us at times.”

It is unusual to find an artist working from genuine inner vision without mind altering substances. It is also unusual for such an artist to be working in a non-figurative style. In general, the artists classified as in the Visionary, Fantastic, Imaginary and Surrealistic styles use figures. It is more difficult to create an inner impulse or vision without figures. It means being in touch with the more subtle energies that exist prior to form. Operating with such a psychological orientation can mean that colors being perceived are not ordinary. It can be a challenge to translate such colors. Until I discovered Camilo’s work I did not know of any non- figurative Visionary work other than my own. The difference between a non-figurative Visionary painting and an abstract painting is the source from which it was created. It is the psyche of the artist and his inner truth that determines this. To understand more about this, refer to (L. Caruana Manifesto on Visionary Art).
Camilo’s work is original, genuine and uplifting. I am happy to be in his arena.

A gaze through the paintings of Camilo Villanueva is like a voyage to the depth of being, to its essence and to the vibration of the light waves it emanates.
“Worlds”, “Seed 2” and “The Teacher”, are just a few examples of the sharp vibration of the full reds, the violets, the blues and the greens; that is, of the inner states of being, of the emotions and the sensations.
Strokes of colour slide both steadily and smoothly at the same time, the time of postmodernism, where opposites coexist.
Camilo Villanueva takes us into his world of images, colours and feelings. He reveals the importance of colour and his visual thought; a thought which is expressed in his paintings, in his canvasses.
