Camilla Marie Dahl (b. 1993) lives and works between New York and La Bisbal d’Empordà, Spain. She holds a BS from Skidmore College and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art. Her practice explores the intricate balance between human intervention and nature. Drawing from her upbringing Dahl reflects on humanity’s place within the intertwined world of the artificial and the organic.

Dahl uses organic materials like pumice stone, hay and pine needles to capture fleeting moments in nature and evoke a nostalgic sense of home. Many of the paintings have an element of relief sculpture. The canvases are not just textured, but forms, created from pumice or carved foam, that swell from the picture plane.
