About Carolina Goedeke

I am a German Artist living in Genoa, Italy. After living 20 years in Berlin as a professional Interdisciplinary Artist (Painting/ Video Art / Performance / Dance / Clarinet Music) I moved in 2017 to Italy to pursue my Art there. My paintings are created while I am sitting on the rocks of the Riviera Coast, observing the waves of te Mediterranean Sea. Living directly at the Sea allows me to feel myself everyday in contact with nature, being inspired by its transformative dynamics. Through my intuitive paintings, I want to transmit a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world we are living in, as well as to encourage the flow of emotions and the perception of being reconnected as a part of nature also as a human. My broad artistic experience in the fields of Dance and Music supports the organic process of my paintings: Composing a Painting for me is very similar to the process of improvising Music with my Clarinet, or feeling the subtle energies in my body while I am dancing, searching to feel the flow without controlling it.
