MessageCarolina Gårdheim [gawrd-hahym] is a soul-driven, late-blooming, intuitive, autodidact artist/fine art painter with big dreams, living in the beautiful archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden.
Carolina works intuitively with bravery, passion, and a great love for texture and detail, often bold and preferably big, in layers upon layers, primarily in acrylics and mixed media, calling it Vibrational Art.
She claims she can feel the energy of each painting when working on them, and she often experiences that they "talk" to her in the process. Sometimes, she includes these messages somewhere on the canvas, visible or not, sometimes they find their way to the title, and sometimes they might even result in a poem, included with the painting on a nice piece of paper.
This energy also comes across to others. Carolina has noticed that people often react emotionally, somehow feeling touched, when meeting her paintings – the art seems to communicate.
Background
Before unleashing her inner artist in her fifties, Carolina was an MBA, turning author, designer, and coach, running a successful business for almost two decades. Finally, in 2020, she decided that life was too short not to follow her most profound dream and started painting full-time to honor her inner child, the born artist, since long yearning for expression.
What else?
- Throughout the years, Carolina has taken countless art classes, experimented in her studio day and night, and a seasoned painter has also mentored her.
- Apart from acrylic painting and mixed media, she also harbors ideas about sculptures, installations, and conceptual art.
- She lives in the beautiful archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden, consisting of more than 30,000 islands, in a house by a magical forest with her beloved husband and, until recently, their two beautiful sons, now both on their way to leave the nest.
- There, she spends her time playing in her studio called "Eremitaget" (the hermitage).
- Carolina is a proud member of the Swedish Artists' Association (Svenska Konstnärsförbundet).
