Life
Camorlinga was born Mexico City, where he still lives.[1] He stated that since he was a child he needed to express his emotions, creating things from Legos, wood and string that were in his dreams. He liked to represent things in nature, drawing lines and combining them to form stars and geometric figures, making more complex designs. He would even use earth and mold things.[2]
He studied architecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and after graduation, went to work with architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez for five years drawing.[1][3] Camorlina states that Ramírez Vázquez taught him an appreciation of pre Hispanic Mexico.[4]
Camorlinga has traveled to Italy, France, England, Spain, New York, Chicago, Canada and India, as well as varios parts of Mexico. He took advantage of his travels to visit art museums and study what he saw.[5]

Camorlinga has since changed careers and moved into sculpture.[6] He has had individual exhibitions at the Academy of San Carlos (2014),[5] Hotel Live Aqua (2014), La Llorona Gallery in Chicago (2014), Centro Cultural del México Contenporáneo (2014), Agencia GMC Cadillac Tollocan (2014), Centro Deportivo Israelita (2013), Museo de Arte Moderna de Toluca (2013), Tec de Monterrey, Campus Santa Fe (2013)[1] and his work can regularly be seen at the Misrachi Galleries.[2]
For the 2013 edition, the Festival Internacional Cervantino commissioned the sculptor to create the 3.66 meter long work Susurro del mar (Sea whisper), of bronze with silver plating.[7][4][8][6] This work was exhibited at the event in conjuction with an individual exhibition of other pieces at the Alhondiga de Granaditas.[9]
Artistry
Camorlinga creates abstract and figurative works,[9] taking his inspiration from nature, people and what he observes around him.[5] His works are influenced by his training as an architect as well as his experiences abroad.[2] He has also named Mexican sculptor Sebastián an an important influence, especially with the use of geometry and movement.[5]
