This is My Story…
“I am driven to learn how to best live out the human experience. My art is an exploration of emotions— finding what drives us, pushes us to evolve, and overall feel the most alive.
Art, to me, is a means of reflecting on my life’s research. It is and has always been my language: painting, writing, sculpting, drawing, dancing. It is a direct impression of how I feel at the time and my most sincere way of processing experiences. Living around the world has given me the understanding that my vulnerability has the power of connecting.
In my art, I explore the relationship with the self, the importance of passion, connection, love, intimacy, pleasure, the values of play, faith, the unknown, discomfort, communication, and more.
From my reflections, I create one version of an answer: a painting, sculpture, drawing. My message dictates what medium I will use. I don’t make art for myself; I make art to communicate to others what I have learned in hopes of inciting thought. “
Carolina Donoso, a Brazilian American artist, expresses the intricacies of the human experience through drawings, paintings, murals, and more. Navigating a nomadic life across Brazil, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, and the United States, she embarked on a journey to understand what unites us in difference.
A 2021 graduate of Emerson College and alumni of RISD and Parsons programs, Carolina merges her diverse studies—from business to design and social innovation—into an artistic exploration and commemoration of what makes us human.
By creating art that shares her personal story while provoking introspection, Carolina encourages her audience to engage in the rebellion that is authenticity. In this way, Carolina’s mission is a celebration of individuality, which embraces intentional imperfections and encourages self expression.
