BIO

Camilla Howalt’s practice explores the intersections of body, memory, and transformation through material processes that integrate photography, embroidery, and painting. She works with organic forms that reference both internal and external landscapes - tracing connections between structure and instability, repetition and rupture, fragility and resilience.

At the core of the work is an inquiry into DIS-ease - both as a physical state and a psychological condition. She investigates how experiences leave imprints on both body and mind, mapping unseen processes of adaptation, healing, and change. Through layered surfaces and rhythmic interventions, the works function as visual and conceptual maps of plasticity, making visible the interplay between presence and absence, tension and release.

After graduating with First-Class Honours from Wimbledon School of Art and completing an MA at Kingston University’s Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Camilla Howalt (b.1968) established her Malmö-based studio in 2021. Her practice focuses on creating prints and original artworks that blend photography, painting, and digital techniques.

Working within the tradition of painting, Camilla’s approach incorporates traditional painting methods, photographic transfer and embroidery techniques exploring the boundaries between abstraction and reality. Her work ranges from highly structured compositions to more spontaneous, layered pieces, with each work offering an interplay of texture and visual depth.

Camilla’s work is part of private collections across Europe, and her prints are available for purchase, bringing her distinct, contemplative style into homes and spaces looking for both aesthetic and thoughtful engagement.
