Camila Falquez is a New York-based photographer and visual artist of Colombian heritage, born in Mexico City and raised in Spain. Working across portraiture, fine art, performance and fashion, her practice draws on surrealist potentiality and a bold chromatic language to explore minoritarian subjects’ modes of survival, joy, beauty and collective organizing. Having grown up in Europe from Latin American roots, Falquez examines the social and political tensions, histories, and possibilities that emerge at the intersection of diasporic aesthetics and Western Art histories centering queer, immigrant and indigenous stories. Falquez’ fashion photography practice becomes an extension of her broader inquiry, using color, gesture, and staging to challenge normative constructions of beauty, identity, and power, while continuing to expand the possibilities of what fashion imagery can hold.Throughout her editorial and fashion career, she has collaborated with leading publications and international magazines.
Alongside her editorial and fashion work, Falquez has developed long-term artistic projects such as Compañerx(2023–2024) and Being (2018–2023), The Orishas (2018- Ongoing), Arewa ( 2021-ongoing), which center trans, non-binary, and communities at the margins of power in different capacities.
Falquez has presented her work internationally through solo and group exhibitions, including Compañerx at Capture Photo Fest, Vancouver (2026); On The Flip Side with Public Art Fund across New York, Boston, and Chicago (2026); Past as Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgment, Part II at the National Academy of Design, New York (2025); a field of bloom and hum at the Tang Museum, Saratoga (2025); and Narratives in Focus at Pérez Art Museum,, Miami (2025).
