Carolina Amat

Carolina Amat is a Venezuelan artist best known for her paintings of memories from her life in Venezuela. Using acrylic paint over wood panels and canvas, she created a series of works entitled Sailing in My Memories.

To represent these memories, Carolina paints vivid realistic images that are superimposed with several layers of paint. This technique allows her to manipulate her memories that are stronger or weaker, to provide the desired impression of more, or less, vivid recollections.

She pours her spirit into each piece and often includes the color blue because it represents the spiritual connection she has of living near the Caribbean coast. In some of her work, Carolina’s architectural background is evident. Using solid shapes, lines, and geometric forms with acrylic marks and pencils, she integrates realistic urban and rural scenes with fictional elements that result in her trademark abstract style.
