(1989, Lisbon, PT)

Carolina grew up in an artistic and cultural environment surrounded by creatives and art works. As a child, she spent most of her spare time exploring different crafts, materials, textures and above all, colors. 

Therefore, it was not surprising when her professional path ended up taking her into the arts. After finishing high school as an art student, she studied Advertising and Events Production, completing her academic career with a masters in Cultural Management. She worked within the artistic world, organizing cultural events and shows. 

As her attraction to this environment grew, so did her eagerness to create. She started to explore the textile arts and became a self-taught macrame enthusiast. From there, she went on to learn and explore other techniques such as tapestry, embroidery and tufting, allowing her to create different pieces and add new stitches to her abstract style.

Through different yarn textures and colors, she explores her creative side and defines her aesthetic sense. Her method flows along free and intuitive lines, where drawing and embroidery merge organically on the canvas.
