Exclusive Review for the “XXII International Congress of Analytical Psychology”
August 28 – September 2, 2022
Sheraton Hotel Buenos Aires – Argentina
Guest Artist: Camilo Villanueva
Argentine painter Camilo Villanueva explores through his work the boundaries of what lies beyond three-dimensional reality, as he believes that existence is the sum of all dimensions found within the different multiverses.
“In Carl G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology, the mandala represents the Self (the totality of the psyche). Upon achieving individuation, this organizing center neither disappears nor is destroyed. On the contrary, it dissolves its rigid boundaries and opens up, expanding consciousness toward the surrounding world and the Universe.”
Camilo Villanueva began painting at the age of 35, developing a body of work characterized by bold color contrasts and striking visual impact.
His artistic production emerges from a deeply introspective and spiritual experience, a form of creative alchemy that connects him with particular states of consciousness. Through his paintings, he invites viewers to explore symbolic universes, elevate the subtle, and transform the dense, conveying messages of love, unity, and evolution.
Many of his works, particularly his mandalas, serve as portals to the cosmic realm. Each piece can be interpreted as a “hologram in which every fragment contains the whole”, making the invisible visible and evoking a profound connection with creation.
Influenced by the artistic legacy of Xul Solar, he studied painting at the Rómulo Raggio Museum, specializing in color theory and practice, a central element of his artistic language.
His work has been exhibited at prominent venues in Argentina and abroad, including Patio Bullrich, Sheraton Hotel, and Sociedad Rural Argentina, as well as galleries in Buenos Aires and Punta del Este.
Between 1997 and 2010, he lived in Córdoba, where he created much of his work and consolidated his artistic identity. In 2010, he participated in an exhibition in Paris at the La Bellevilloise Art Center.
Today, his works are part of private collections in the United States and Australia and are featured on international art platforms.
