'Camilla West’ landscapes are always more than a specific place. They also exist as landscapes within the mind.  They are like landscape paintings of the human mind; like a map of the mind and its movements. And quite often it is the melancholic mind, with the deep and clear colours, she portrays. The melancholy of the North, whilst watching dusk appears. Her works are Mind Pictures or Mood Pictures, which using the power of colour, show us an idyllic and peaceful landscape, which at the same time also shows us a powerful nature, which is underlying everything.'

I hope that one picture, one painting, not just gives people the things and the object. I hope the picture will carry the motion of the nature and things. I hope that when we look at the picture, we can stand and think. I think the power behind a picture is that it can make audience image.

Recently I am researching the balance between Chinese painting and my studio works. Brush-makings are very important in Chinese painting. A perfect mark will show audiences the confidence of the painter. Actually, I think brush-making are important for not only painting but also drawing and illustrations. People can actually see painter's ability in this brush-makings. 

I can feel the power and the flow within her brush-makings. I can feel the energy in her pictures. Every mark becomes a living thing.
