Portrait of Raúl Campos in his studio

Raúl Campos

Mexican, b. 1992

Follow

(b. 1992, Mexico) works through a timeless figurative language charged with psychological intensity. His paintings emerge from a state prior to form — the unmanifest — where images arise through intention rather than chronology, and time collapses into simultaneity.

Rooted in years of dreams and reflection, his practice approaches madness as lucidity: a heightened perception capable of revealing what remains unseen.

Formed in Mexico, later refined in Florence and through an apprenticeship with Odd Nerdrum, Campos has exhibited internationally since 2012 and lives and works in Mexico.
