Formative years

She was born on 29 July 1982 in Santa Cruz Manila, Philippines. Both of her parents were 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 prolific. He had a total of 80 solo exhibitions both in the Philippines and abroad. Dela Rosa's father did not teach her how to paint, so, after his death in 1998, she taught herself how to paint and pursued her own artistic vision, using 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.

In the year 2000, she began to depart from her father's style and started to give way to her penchant for impressionist techniques as seen in 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. Dela Rosa was inspired by Rico Manlapas, the curator of Artis Corpus gallery, to explore her range of style. 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.

So from the year 2009 up to the present, her works, classified as surrealism, are 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.
