OUGD404 - Camille Walala

Camille Walala's signature style has been described as 'tribal POP'.

Her use of colour as one of the themes throughout her work makes a striking statement, whether the piece is small or supersize plastered on the side of a building. Although Camille is a graduate in Textile Design, she favours working large scale. She discovered this whilst working on XOYO's interior - "I absolutely loved the result. It was so nice to see the buzz and energy it gave to the place when the night came! That was IT, I found my purpose in life – making people smile and happy by creating colourful, bold and joyful surrounding environment."








Camille favours bright, bold colours to give her work a young and fresh vibe. This wall piece below is a prime example of this and it perfectly fits in with the trendy scene in Shoreditch, London.




Recurring colours I have noticed in many pieces of her work are turquoise, as well as the primary colours. These are instrumental in making her work stand out as they are simple yet bold and compliment the shapes in the pieces perfectly.

Camille says she spends a lot of time also trying to find colour combinations that work well together by looking at paintings or other imagery. This has inspired me to do the same and carry this on throughout my personal design work.
