My statement
|
|
I believe that art can heal.
I believe that the symbolic level is a universal and peaceful space where to stand and meet. From there, I paint my perception of the "invisible", feelings and thoughts, energy and sensations, to show, share and inspire. These images come from within, sometimes completely improvised, and allow a heart to heart communication.
I believe that our bodies are our first homes, shells, vehicles, and that our senses allow our primal communication with the "outside world" and other beings. Through our addictions to stress, our busy minds absorb all the available life force and govern our decisions. I believe that, too often in our megalopolis & structuring cultures, the bodies are suppressed. I believe that my paintings are charged with a graphic playfulness and a nurturing sensuality. Through my work, I want to invite the viewers to open themselves up, to dream, trust, feel and play. I address whoever is willing to explore life and their own creative journey.
My art is both a daily exploration within of the mystery of life, and an act of love.

Professional history
|
|
In three decades, Caroline Bergonzi has proved her multi-facet creativity through a rich and diverse body of work, including styling for fashion magazines, costumes, jewelry, graphic and web design, and a first creativity educational program. Since her first art show, in 2002, she has revealed remarkable paintings and continuously reinvented herself.
She draws from both science and spirituality igniting her passion for the human being, in the deepest layers, the ones we all share, the essence that bonds our diverse cultures. An artist since the earliest age, Caroline is a confluence of traditions; combining southern European baroque black backgrounds with the eastern passive sensuality of her silhouettes; metaphysical elements with the sparkly glamour from her fashion experience and magnificent body shapes.
A sensitive, curious and energetic child, she grew up under the blue Mediterranean sky, in the Principality of Monaco. After 17 years in this peaceful and international city, she moved to Paris, to acquire the tools she judged necessary to preserve her freedom. Greeting the challenges of business school & postgraduate studies in fashion management, she remained active and blossomed in creatively opposing environments such as an underground video games team and a major Parisian Haute Couture studio. After graduating, she spent time in China and Italy, and chose New York as her new home, for its human masses, rhythms, and unlimited mosaic of cultures. The brutal reality of this new urban & mental environment encouraged a deeper immersion in empiric philosophy, psychology and spirituality. As the angel of the movie "Wings of Desire", she swapped her cerebral, wide perspective for a true experience of being alive, meeting a full range of emotions, from fear to love, including loneliness, joy, pain, pleasure or peace. She recorded and expressed them through sketches & paintings.
As a symbolist, Caroline expresses feelings using human shapes aiming for trut
