Biography

Pia Camil was born in 1980 in Mexico City, Mexico.[1] Camil was raised in Mexico City.

Camil focused on studying painting in her college education.[2] She earned a B.F.A. in Painting in 2003 from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an M.F.A. in 2008 from the Slade School of Fine Art, in London.[3][4]

Camil’s work is usually associated with the Mexican urban landscape, the aesthetic language of modernism and its relationship to retail and advertising.[5] Recently she has engaged in public participation as a way to activate the work and engage with the politics of consumerism.[6][7]

Her work is included in many public museum collections including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum,[6] Centre Pompidou,[6] Blanton Museum of Art,[6] and others.
