Camile Sproesser desenvolve uma prática pictórica que entrelaça imagens simbólicas, mitologias antigas e referências a saberes esotéricos, como o tarô, a astrologia e a alquimia. Sua obra é construída sobre a sobreposição de camadas materiais e conceituais, com especial interesse por processos ligados ao tempo, à natureza e a formas simbólicas associadas ao cuidado, ao ciclo e à transformação. A artista trabalha principalmente com pintura a óleo sobre linho e juta — material vegetal cuja irregularidade e textura evocam, segundo ela, o caráter imprevisível da existência e estabelecem uma conexão tátil com o mundo natural. O linho, por sua vez, permite explorar a transparência do suporte e a incidência da luz como elementos ativos na composição, intensificando o aspecto sensorial e ritual da experiência com a imagem. Suas composições articulam figuras humanas, animais e signos cósmicos em narrativas visuais que confrontam valores contemporâneos de racionalidade, aceleração e eficiência, abrindo espaço para temporalidades arcaicas, formas de conhecimento ancestral e visões alternativas de futuro.

Nas obras O dia e A noite (2025), concebidas especialmente para a exposição Transe, Sproesser investiga pares simbólicos complementares a partir de composições inspiradas em afrescos etruscos e em sistemas de pensamento ligados aos ciclos cósmicos. Em O dia, tons terrosos e alaranjados dominam a superfície, exaltando o reino solar e os seres que representam a luz e a consciência. Andorinhas em voo circular evocam o fluxo do pensamento e o ritmo do tempo diurno, enquanto o leão, a serpente e o cavalo — todos associados ao fogo e à força vital — acompanham uma figura humana em movimento, em referência ao mergulho ritualístico das pinturas fúnebres etruscas. Já em A noite, uma atmosfera azulada e fluida abriga símbolos lunares e aquáticos: peixes, escorpiões e caranguejos — seres ligados ao elemento água e às emoções — habitam um plano simbólico do inconsciente. Ao centro, uma vaca com chifres em forma de lua crescente indica o início de um novo ciclo noturno, guiado pela intuição e pela interioridade.

Ao colocar essas forças em relação, Sproesser constrói uma cosmogonia pictórica que investiga os ritmos da natureza e suas manifestações históricas, sensíveis e simbólicas na experiência humana.

Camile Sproesser develops a pictorial practice that weaves together symbolic imagery, ancient mythologies, and references to esoteric knowledge such as tarot, astrology, and alchemy. Her work is built upon the layering of material and conceptual elements, with a particular interest in processes linked to time, nature, and symbolic forms associated with care, cycles, and transformation. She primarily works with oil painting on linen and jute — a plant-based material whose irregularity and texture, according to the artist, evoke the unpredictable nature of existence and establish a tactile connection with the natural world. Linen, in turn, allows her to explore the transparency of the surface and the role of natural light as active components of the composition, intensifying the sensory and ritualistic qualities of the image. Her compositions bring together human figures, animals, and cosmic signs in visual narratives that challenge contemporary values of rationality, acceleration, and efficiency, creating space for archaic temporalities, ancestral knowledge systems, and alternative visions of the future.

In O dia [The day] and A noite [The night] (2025), conceived especially for the exhibition Transe, Sproesser investigates complementary symbolic pairs through compositions inspired by Etruscan frescoes and cosmological systems of thought. In O dia [The day], earthy and orange tones dominate the surface, exalting the solar realm and the beings that represent light and consciousness. Swallows flying in circles evoke the flow of thought and the rhythm of the day, while the lion, serpent, and horse — all associated with fire and vital force — accompany a human figure in motion, referencing the ritualistic dive depicted in ancient Etruscan tomb paintings. In A noite [The night], a bluish and fluid atmosphere hosts lunar and aquatic symbols: fish, scorpions, and crabs — beings associated with the element of water and with emotional depth — populate a symbolic plane of the unconscious. At the center, a cow with crescent-shaped horns suggests the beginning of a new nocturnal cycle, guided by intuition and inwardness.

By placing these forces in dialogue, Sproesser constructs a pictorial cosmogony that investigates the rhythms of nature and their historical, symbolic, and sensory manifestations in human experience.
