"The first impression of François Camille's work is that of an outpouring of colour and form, ordered with a constant concern for balance and harmony.Although his approach leaves a great deal to chance, his gesture is the result of a logical process of tamed symbols and random graphic combinations, emerging from his own imagination.Black, grey and white, combined with a lively palette, express a certain cheerfulness. According to him, "Today's art is part of a journey of sadness and pessimism. But life is about the beauty of nature, love and art. If these three elements do not express a certain happiness, what is left? The motifs and the colour escape the artist to go beyond the closed frame of the canvas. The alternation of curves - although not very present - and straight lines is reminiscent of Russian and Italian constructivism, and according to the artist, "geometric forms give off a harmony. According to the artist, "geometric forms give off a harmony. There is a form of eternal aesthetic in geometric abstraction that can be found in a certain architecture of the Bauhaus and in the art of the thirties".
He does not allow himself any other form of exuberance than the ordering of motifs. He feeds off the lines drawn by Kandinsky, Braque Estève, Herbin, Picasso and Delaunay. If there is exuberance, it resides in the infinity of forms that lead us into the colourful labyrinth of his imagination. The choice to remove the trace of his hand from his works does not invite us to witness his hesitations.
He offers us his coded reading of the world. By drawing his lines, he imposes his limits, creating his own internal order in the face of the often chaotic spectacle of the world.
François Camille's art can be seen as a temporary remedy to anguish or to an authentic uncertainty of Being, to tame the persistence of the unknown.
