Caroline Pera is a French-American painter based in Milan, trained at Central Saint Martins, London.
Works held in the private collections of Etro, Loro Piana and financier Claudio Costamagna. Exhibited internationally across Milan, London, Vienna, New York, and Birmingham.
Collections including her signature 'Flow' series, inspired by Lao Tzu's philosophy of effortless becoming, Pera's paintings invite the viewer into a deeply personal yet universally resonant world.
Her work explores the layered terrain of human emotion, exploring the tension between surrender and intention. Created in oil on the finest linen - left bare to reveal its natural texture and warmth - each painting captures organic forms in a state of perpetual becoming: never fixed, never still. Bold yet delicate.
Available to collectors worldwide.
