Camila Magrane is a Venezuelan-American visual artist most noted for her augmented reality (AR) images where she integrates 3D animated subjects and scenery into physical photographs. With a background in video game development and a strong passion for analog photography, her interest lies in developing a dialogue between the virtual and the physical. Magrane’s images are inspired by surrealist compositions - rooted in the unconscious, dream-like, sensuous, and unsettling. At the same time, the works reference the graphic hyperrealism of contemporary video game design which continues to be an integral part of her artistic practice. She holds a B.S. in Computer Science and previously worked as a cinematic artist in the game industry. She now teaches independent game design and development classes online.

 

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, fairs, and festivals. Selected clients include Adobe, California Academy of Sciences, Exploratorium, Gray Area, and the Las Vegas Downtown Grand. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, LenScratch, Refinery29, Wired Magazine, and the Las Vegas Weekly.

 

Camila currently lives and works in Twentynine Palms, CA.
