Carolina Goedeke

I am a German Artist living in Genoa, Italy and in Berlin.
After living 20 years in Berlin as a professional Interdisciplinary Artist (Painting/ Video Art / Performance / Dance / Clarinet Music) I decided 2017 to pursue my Art also in Italy.
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 in a close 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.
