Roos Campman is a graduate of the Academy of Beaux Arts, Antwerp Belgium, 
and The Sint Joost Art School Breda, The Netherlands. 
At this time she lives and works in Paris, France.
 
Roos Campman exposed her work in (inter)-national exhibitions, 
among them the yearly exhibition at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam 
to celebrated the Royal Painting Price for Young Artists. 
Over the years her paintings are collected by 
several interesting Dutch and international art-collections.
 
The focus of her work is the human figure. In that sense it is a kind of portraiture. 
The subjects, however, are not individualized portraits. 
She is primarily interested in the way human figures appear, 
in their posture, and their relation to others. 
Yet, the nature of her work is non-narrative. There are no stories there. 
She tries to freeze on canvas this one short moment a person, feeling lost or confused or free. 
 
She studies her subjects on account of formal considerations (light, composition and colour), 
but the result may also reveal psychological dimensions as fear and desire. 
Content is not an idea that is given; it emerges in the interaction between the painting and the viewer. 
She tries to create an image in which such content can emerge. 
 
Color is the vehicle for the expression of light. 
Her aim is to produce a certain kind of light, which, when picked up by the viewer, 
takes significance in the painting. 
 
The technique she uses is called egg-tempera, 
it is an ancient painting- technique based on a mix of pigments and eggs. 
This technique is particularly known for its transparency and its strong colors.
