About Caroline
Caroline Navarro is a Lisbon-based international artist with affiliations in Guernsey, Malta, Sydney, Holland and the Balearic Islands. Renowned for her live 'in-action' painting style, Caroline has enjoyed an explosive journey into the European classical and contemporary art and design scene in recent years. Caroline has exhibited worldwide for over 20 years admired by many!
Capturing moments 'en plein air' or onboard a sailing yacht, I paint the world around me as I see it! Being in the moment, recreating a scene brings much excitement to my work, which is illustrated through my choice of vibrant acrylics and energetic brushstroke. I like to begin my work outdoors on a ready coloured canvas, the first step is a lively charcoal sketch before the first layer of paint is applied. It's all about capturing every sense of the moment! The performance of painting on site whether it be at the start of a sailing yacht regatta, a historical site or capturing a beautiful scene adds to the energy so evident in my work. It also offers a fun factor to the audience present who often like to interact |

Plans for 2023/24
2022 included forming part of a collective for the festivities of Gouda's 750 Anniversary and much time spent at the
Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes as part of the Atelier Experimental Group under the mentoring of renowned Artist Ana Lima Netto, experimenting using acetates, inks & other less know materials towards developing her art style!
Last years focus on painting the nude through longer poses using colour & inks was a great success as they have been well received! Caroline hosted some of these sessions in her new studio in Lisbon inviting fellow artists to join.
This last part of the year has been about her enjoying the flow and immediacy of the Japanese pen & watercolour sketches she has produced inspired by her travels by boat throughout the Caribbean Islands.
On her return home to Lisbon this May 2023 Caroline plans to create a mural in a public space, while at the same time expose her latest works as part of a number of upcoming art events in Lisbon and overseas.
Winter 2024 Caroline will be away sailing through the Pacific Ocean, a dream she has had for many years!!!
