Caroline Guille - Biography​

​

Caro was born in France, amidst a family of artists. Surrounded by nature, Caro’s childhood was infused with colours and an idealised vision of life where reality often met fantasy. Very early, she had the intuition that colours could open doors inside of her, revealing hidden mysteries. She would later develop and transform this intuition into her own world of colours by capturing the force flowing through all life.

Although Caro began her studies in literature and psychology, her true calling tapped her on the shoulder while living in Scotland in 1989. Soon after, she lived in Italy for two years where she learned interesting techniques working with Italian painters. Caro also travelled through Europe, North Africa, Asia and North America. While living in the United States, she took courses at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and self-expression courses in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has been living in Vancouver, BC, since 2003.

Caro regards her paintings as companions with whom she can grow. They serve as mirrors as she attempts to reach her innermost nature. Her work is the embodiment of creative energy and human potential which invites the viewers to feel their own limitless potential.

Her creations are influenced by the ethereal qualities of nature, the invisible power of things, Eastern philosophy, Vedic mythology, abstract expressionist painters, the colourful world of Matisse, Gauguin and the mystical paintings of Caspar David Friedrich.
