Hello, I am Caroline, a self-taught artist from Brazil.
I have always had an interest in the otherworldly — fairy tales, fantasy, mythology. As a child my world was populated by fairies, mermaids and magical creatures, as well as a love for nature and art, and I've been drawing ever since. I continue to tend to that living flame of wonder, the childlike ability for marvel and enchantment. I believe imagination can lead us to transcendent ways of perceiving our reality, from which we can derive deeper meanings and new ways to relate to the world, a door to which beauty acts as a key. It is a means not to escape, but to enrich our experiences. The characters I portray are messengers from these ethereal realms, with their own stories to tell. Through my art I seek to translate some of my inner experiences and feelings into something tangible, that hopefully can inspire viewers and invite them to explore their own sense of wonder. |
