Description

The Spanish idiomatic expression translates to "On one's own terms," "Marching to the beat of one's own drum," or "Doing one's own thing." In this 2023 work, Sebastián Camps plays on both the literal meaning of the word (ball / sphere) and the figurative idea of an independent, self-governing universe of forms. is a manifesto of creative autonomy and visual freedom. The title—signifying life lived on one's own terms while simultaneously referencing the hovering blue sphere—reveals the essence of the entire canvas: there is no adherence to a single template here; each form follows its own trajectory.

A heavy, textured black block at the center grounds the space, yet around it unfolds a celebration of liberated geometry. Fine ray-like strings pierce the canvas, vivid red flag-triangles establish a pulse, and a luminous yellow halo along the edges infuses the work with Mediterranean energy. Camps constructs a mechanism of flawless balance, where the independence of each individual element does not fracture the whole, but rather gives rise to a vibrant, distinctive cosmos.

Play on Words in the Title: A dual reading of the Spanish idiom—as a metaphor for independence ("in one's own way") and a literal reference to the blue sphere ().

Mixed Media and Texture: A juxtaposition of dense, impasto textures (the central dark monolith, collage-like red squares) with refined linear graphics.

Symbolic Vocabulary: The presence of recognizable motifs signature to the artist—stair steps (vectors of ascent), optical grids, and intersecting rays.

Sebastian Camps, A Su Bola (Doing Own Way)
Spain  • 1949

Presentation

Sebastián Camps is a Spanish painter, graphic artist, printmaker, and exhibition curator.

Origins and Formative Years:

Sebastián Camps was born in 1949 in Tangier (then the Tangier International Zone). The development of his artistic vision coincided with the 1960s—a pivotal era marked by the rise of Pop Art, Minimalism, and the European avant-garde. He later established his life and professional career in Spain, settling in Malaga (Andalusia).

Artistic Career:

The artist held his first solo exhibition over half a century ago, in the late 1960s in Malaga. Throughout his extensive career, Camps has participated in more than forty solo and group exhibitions across Madrid, Malaga, Seville, Granada, Cádiz, and Almería, as well as in international art fairs (including ArtFair in Germany).

Multidisciplinary Practice:

Beyond easel painting (oil, acrylic) and drawing, he has actively worked in fine art printmaking (silkscreen, etching) and design, and has curated more than 30 art exhibitions.

Visual Language: His work is rooted in expressive abstraction, lyrical expressionism, and neo-avant-garde aesthetics.

Technique and Process: His pieces frequently feature mixed media (oil, acrylic, ink, collage). The artist often integrates fragments of earlier sketches and unfinished canvases into new compositions, creating a nuanced dialogue between space and time.

Sebastián Camps's works are held in prestigious national institutions and collections throughout Spain:

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid)

Fundación Picasso Museo Casa Natal (Malaga)

Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo (Marbella)

Regional and governmental collections (Junta de Andalucía, City Council of Malaga, Provincial Deputations of Malaga, Cádiz, and Almería)

Banking institution foundations (Unicaja, Caja de Ahorros San Fernando, La General de Granada) and private collections both in Spain and internationally.
