Caminero’s work has a Latin American stamp that transforms it into a universal work. He navigates in diverse dimensions that starting in the indigenous roots of the Caribbean manages to jump towards the stars keeping indistinctly and in a unique and personal way his particular writing. We see in his strokes the ancient and the modern. Caminero is an artist capable of entering our psyche and showing us worlds that we cannot consciously see. His abstraction provokes messages and voices and familiar codes stored somewhere in our minds. They are petroglyphs recognized, but not remembered, that is why we are attracted to his work, he challenges us to decipher it as if we could make sense of our existence. As if it showed us the mystery of life and destiny and its steps forbidden to our mind. As if Helena Blavatsky were resurrected in front of a mirror, bringing us new theosophical messages. Beyond art, Caminero tries to enlighten us.
