Torment Painting

Nicole Carvajal is a professional painter born in Santiago de Chile. Married and mother of 2 grown-up girls. Carvajal observes the day-to-day world, as well as the world of art-history. From both she selects images in which human, botanic and animal figures play an important role. The surrealistic South American school of painting is the second important source of inspiration for Carvajal. Now living for more than 35 years in the Netherlands, she often uses images from its rich past: Vermeer, Dou and others.
