Some artists stick with specific styles and mediums to explore well-trodden paths and polish their techniques. Others experiment with new approaches to push the boundaries of their possibilities and talent. Carolina Anyways belongs to the second category. As a dedicated follower of the principles of free self-expression in art, she tries her hand at versatile creative methods, from painting to printmaking to large-scale installations. Let’s learn more about Carolina's philosophy and creative portfolio in this article.
About the Artist
Born in 1992, Carolina has pursued visual art as her life’s passion from her early years. The artist created her first painting at the age of three and continued refining her technique through fine arts education. She received a degree in fine arts and architectural design, with these two specializations finding their deserved places in her creative approach, fusing creativity and technical precision.
From her early years, Carolina started experimenting with a mixture of painting, sculpture, and architecture to come up with an auteur style nobody else possesses. The artist is deeply fascinated with the exploration of fresh creative grounds, so she explores the possibilities of different materials and textures to give them a consistent aesthetic form through the combination of art and science. Carolina has also acquired fame for the experimental use of innovative materials, such as bioplastics and transparent wood, as bases for her artwork.
Creative Evolution of Carolina Anyways
The creative portfolio of Carolina Anyways is versatile and impressive, including graphic art, photography, multimedia art, and mixed-media installations. The artist is widely known for the use of exquisite ancient painting techniques, such as gesso and fresco painting, to visualize contemporary subjects and fuse traditional painting methods with iconic elements of modern culture.
Works created by Carolina make the impossible possible: a refined gesso painting on a wooden base may become a neighbor of plastic spoons or sheet metal, and a 3D oil print may stand in line with an icon or drawing. The artist utilizes this unique approach to blend tradition and modernity, thus bridging the past and the present in eclectic artworks with a deep emotional impact.
Carolina has participated in many solo and group exhibitions across Europe, including the UK, Spain, Slovakia, Serbia, Sweden, and Finland. Her international visibility has also expanded to the USA and China. At present, Carolina’s paintings and mixed-media art pieces are kept in private collections in all parts of the world.
It’s also worth noting that since 2015, Carolina Anyways has been collaborating with the fashion designer Helena Art. This partnership has resulted in the foundation of their own production studio focused on professional photography and videography. The creative group “HELENA ART & CAROLINA ANYWAYS” has also launched several fashion brands such as "Fru kryddor" and “Cuisse de Nymphe émue.” Today, Carolina and Helena are preparing their new summer collection for release, and it is expected to be full of color, tricks, and interesting details.
