CAMILO VILLANUEVA, THE UNIVERSAL SOUL IN THE FORMAL UNIVERSE

Camilo Villanueva is an artist from the soul interior, who tries to express the existent energies,

which cannot be seen but are there for sure. Energies that are different colors of light, energies that, as we see them, make a line to the horizon of the spirit. Camilo Villanueva does not try to be neither representant nor figurative when he gets the interior that belongs to that we cannot see, the creatures' energy that is made by the expression of the strength, and with the universal love's subtlety.

Camilo Villanueva is centered in the energy's expression, its journey's description and its essence. And he does not do it to catch the essence and tell us about it, but to make us understand that there is a kind of existence inside other existences that cannot be seen, but they are there and those ones are specific and concrete but still cannot be seen just because we do not want to see them.

For Camilo Villanueva the fact that we do not see them and do not know that they are right there, is not important. But this Argentinian artist just wants to be able to express the universal love's face and the way that lead us to the spiritual evolution, leaving from each one of us and each one of our truths, using the soul's serenity.

The diversity unit is the group of different truths that, together, make the universal spiritual truth. We, human beings, must meditate to make a connection with the cosmic soul to be able to see our final reaching, and that is an explicit need. We are not the shape but the bottom, the spiritual interior that is found inside the continuing evolution.

At a painting level, Camilo Villanueva's work is made by different continuing structures, fulfilled with armony , without searching for any chromatic confront, emphasizing the different fluctuations, finding a diversity of equilibrium regarding to the stage of evolution. He is an abstract artist who paints the bottom of what cannot be seen, but it is still visible for some people.
