Teresa Camozzi
Multimedia California artist Teresa Camozzi and art historian, born in Rabat, Morocco, immigrated to the United States when five years old. Her artwork evokes the complexity of Islam, while her immigration shades her political view. Her mentor was Ernst Posey while studying at San Francisco’s Academy of Art.
She is known internationally for large-scale permanent public artworks; she combines representational and abstract images via conventional art methods (photography, drawing) and computer technology. One example is a seven-story installation near Shanghai, China; another is at Miami International Airport. In addition, she earned the National 2009 Americans for the Arts Award for public work in Plano, Texas.
Teresa Camozzi’s unique color theory and nature-based imagery offer observations and interpretations resulting in art that has proven to be provocative, site-appropriate, colorful, and it is said “healing”. Dedicated to ecology, Teresa relates the transience of nature and culture in most of her work.
Creating site-specific artwork for thirty years, Teresa includes painting, photography, and sculpture singularly or mixed, for installations enabling healthcare, hospitality, corporate, private and public collections internationally to garner timeless works of art.
Her interest is materials and process is never ending including the most modern technology often printing her images on various substrates for mobiles and bas-relief wall sculpture.
Her to-scale 2 and 3d maquettes communicate all aspects of her art commissions for architects, community leaders, and other design professionals granting all involved the opportunity to cultivate the most fulfilling distinctive artwork possible for each site, from the intimate to the monumental.
From Kaiser Pernamente to Florida Hospital Orlando, from the Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, and the Garden Hotel near Shanghai, Teresa Camozzi has been globe-trotting to create major art commissions.
Teresa’s innovative solutions expressed in many mediums has enhanced the experience of hundreds of sites internationally.
