Traces of My DNA is a series of self-portraits altered with hand-painted pigments, inspired by a DNA test. Using my own face as a canvas, I explore the layered legacies of ancestry, migration, and memory embedded in the body. These marks function as emotional and genetic traces—mapping identity as something inherited, fractured, and evolving. The work invites viewers to reflect on what we carry, what we claim, and how we shape our sense of belonging.

Camille Renée Devid is a visual artist exploring identity through photography and hand-painted intervention. Her latest project, Discovering My Colors, began with a DNA test and evolved into Traces of My DNA—a self-portrait series mapping ancestral memory and emotional legacy. Camille’s work is shaped by her life between Curaçao, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. She graduated from Foto Academie Amsterdam and previously published My Other Side with Schilt Publishing. She lives and works in Amsterdam.
