Formative years
She was born on 29 July 1982 in Sta. Cruz Manila, Philippines. Both of her parents are professors and artists. Her father is the late noted painter Ibarra Dela Rosa. He was an art educator, a poet and a philosopher. As a painter, he was so prolific. He had a total of 80 solo exhibitions both in the Philippines and abroad at the time of his demise. Her mother, Ethel Dimacuha was a humanities professor at noted universities in Manila. She had also several solo exhibitions in different Manila galleries. At first, Camille's father did not want her to pursue becoming a visual artist like him because perhaps he is aware of the then pathetic plight of artists, without a single stable job. He did not teach her how to paint; did not even purposely exposed her to the art world he circulated in. But after her father's demise in 1998, she taught herself how to paint, and pursued her own artistic vision and then used her father's style and previous paintings as an inspiration. In that same year, she then mounted her first solo exhibition at the age of 16. Because of her natural born talent and artistic skills when it comes to painting Impressionism, an article by Cid Reyes renowned her as the "Youngest impressionist painter in the Philippines" during her time.
Being a self-taught artist, Camille's several solo exhibition during 1998-1999 are inspired by her father's style of art. Then in the year 2000, she slowly departed away from her father's style and started to give way to her penchant for impressionist techniques as evidenced by her 2000 to 2008 paintings. Camille produced spontaneously and exhibited her gardens, churches, landscapes, flowers, portraits, nudes, and people in their various endeavors along this grain.
Then, by the year 2009, Camille left her comfort zone stressing she doesn't want to be stagnant at one visual genre and stay forever on that plateau. She was inspired by Rico Manlapas, the curator of Artis Corpus gallery, to explore her range of style when it comes to producing art. When she found what she was looking for, Camille surprised the art scene by launching her 16th solo exhibit, titled "Aenigma." The show was a complete departure from her usual impressionistic garden paintings. For a year, she explored the surreal, the morbid, the mechanical, and the unknown. Her works were dominated with proto-human skulls and skeletons - in anatomical veracity of detail. Evident also were symbolic images and leading motifs such as nude female figures, fetuses, throbbing hearts, ghoulish faces and realistic, probosces, mouths and eyeballs, human skeletons and nude female figures. In brief, an assortment of possibly metaphorical items reflecting narrative potential.
So from the year 2009, up to the present, her works classified as surrealism, are now the images from her subconscious mind. Through this, she was able to create artworks that to others are "morbid" but oozing with mystical, esoteric and occult symbolism.
