biOGRAPHY

Caroline Freudenthal is an international
career woman ​and artist.
She was born in 1962 in England to Swedish parents
and holds dual Swedish and British nationality.
A multicultural childhood spent in England, Mexico and Sweden
​has inspired and influenced her distinct artistic expression,
which she terms as "Alchemical Abstraction."

An autodidact artist, Caroline paints abstract art in acrylic and mixed media on canvas and paper. Works include large paintings over 2 metres high. 

In October 2012, Ms. Freudenthal was presented as a new talent to the American art public at the Bego Ezair Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York with a collection of artwork titled Reinvention. Several of the pieces featured in that exhibition are now on long-running display in the Save the Children UN Office at the UN Plaza.

In 2014, Caroline's artwork was presented at the MLG gallery in Stockholm in a solo exhibition titled Galvanized, followed by Two Tribes: A Consummation in 2015.

Previous art exhibitions in Stockholm, Sweden, include: Transformation at Ahtello Soul Art Gallery in 2002, followed by Ritual at Ahtello in 2003. In 2004 Ms Freudenthal was presented as an emerging artist as part of a group exhibition at Gallery Gummesons and in 2005 Caroline was featured as a solo artist at Gummesons with her exhibition Zoë, displaying artwork painted and signed under Caroline's alter ego and creative persona Zoë. This was followed by another solo show, Maelstrom, at Gallery Aguéli in 2007.

Ms. Freudenthal’s artwork has been highlighted as design features in various interior decoration projects and on Swedish television.


ARTIST’s STATEMENT:
"I am a big admirer of Frida Kahlo who I view as a kindred spirit: her art, her love, her life... Friducha was a true alchemist and a major part of my body of work is inspired and influenced by the ancient ‘science’ of Alchemy and the various experimental stages described in the formulae for turning lead into gold. 

In Alchemy, the Prima Materia (lead) is transmuted into Rubedo (gold) through a series of transformational processes. These alchemical processes can be viewed as metaphors for the mental and emotional processes of the Psyche, reflecting the search and longing for inner and outer gold, that can eventually lead to the attainment of the ultimate prize: the Philosopher’s Stone - which for me is symbolized by the creative process and the resulting artwork and stories."           

Sources of inspiration for Caroline's artwork include C.G. Jung’s reflections on Alchemy and Psychology, Egyptology, travel, art, design, film, music and literature  — she often has the title of a painting in mind before starting on a new piece. 

Caroline also dedicates time to creative writing and writes children’s stories, fiction and poetry in English and Swedish.
