Hello!
I'm Caroline Corleone, a visual artist based in Berlin working at the intersection between recontextualized digital textile patterns, Computer-Generated Imagery and analog painting. I combine materials such as pattern/fabrics or ready made objects with specific painting strategies. I create works that are colourful hand-sewn mixed media pieces or installations. I'm interested in contemporary challenges, deep-diving into botany and its connection with colonial
history and the paradise narrative, using archives as the foundation for my research and new series.
