Caroline Guille dit CARO
I was born June 1967 in France.
After studying psychology at the University of Bordeaux I traveled to Scotland and stayed there from 1988 to 1990.
The place held a magic fascination for me. Yet I developed feelings of solitude and of strangeness, perhaps because I was away from my own country.
I started painting to stay connected to myself, to my origins.
From Scotland I moved to Italy for a two-year stay, taking advantage of work with painters from Pietrasanta, Amalfi and Positano to acquire new techniques. It helped me to express myself in a more personal way. It opened my work to new sensations, new interests.
I moved from Italy to the U.S. in 1992, seeking new artistic experiences. Places like Arizona, New Mexico and Florida provided fresh inspiration along with a great feeling of freedom.
It is this feeling of freedom, of beauty and hope, that I seek to convey through my canvases. My goal is simple: to try always to be as close as possible to my sensations, to my perceptions and to my desire for authenticity in my artistic choices.
Now, I am in Vancouver since the beginning of 2003 where I am being influenced by the light, the mountains, the Pacific and by the beauty of nature.
