Carolina Echeverria is no stranger to controversy. Her past exhibits have always challenged the social norm. Carolina believes in the power of a woman to change the current of perception in today’s world. A stranger in a strange land, she has adapted to a new culture, but protected her true self from it at the same time. This delicate balance is seen in her paintings and displayed in her “Garments for Survival” – a series of metal dresses that combine delicate feminism with the instinct to protect that beauty.
The paint is so fresh, so alive, that it looks as though it were applied yesterday – vibrant, intense red, ochre, orange, and gold. Echeverria’s brush-strokes bring a sense of balance through these violent colors, that finally evoke serenity, beauty and calmness. Chilean artist Carolina Echeverria explores her love for street art, body art, and idealism.
