Original Painting by Cam Munroe
Kāpiti Coast, Wellington

Year: 2026
Dimensions: 980×980mm
Cam Munroe is a contemporary artist based in Kāpiti, New Zealand, whose richly layered mixed media paintings explore themes of time, memory and human presence. Using acrylic, ink and oil, she builds and erodes her compositions through a process of layering, scraping back and etching into the surface. Inspired by ancient landscapes, prehistoric sites and symbolic markings, her abstract works evoke forms that feel both historic and strangely familiar.
Munroe works slowly and intuitively, allowing each painting to develop over time. Through techniques such as impasto, wire brushing and sanding, she reveals textured surfaces that suggest traces of memory and place. Her motifs often appear like contemporary hieroglyphs, inviting viewers to interpret the quiet space between light and shadow, presence and absence, and the seen and the felt.
