Juan Carlos Camacho’s watercolours reflect his fascination with the interplay between art and architecture. His studies in drawing, painting, and architecture at the University of Costa Rica have shaped his view of these disciplines as complementary.
Camacho’s watercolours contain strong contrasts of light and shadow, with dynamic backgrounds painted in fast, expressive strokes that sometimes verge on abstraction. From these backdrops, he creates intricate structures that evoke human presence and experiences.
Whether depicting landscapes, homes, agricultural buildings, or weathered fences, Camacho captures the Costa Rican environment, exploring the connection between human life and landscapes.
This painting of a simple shed-like building portrays it as small and insignificant against a dramatic splash of vibrant green tones. The stretching arms of a tree shadow, painted in purple, reaches the building, adding depth and contrast while emphasising the building’s modest presence in a lush Costa Rican environment.
