Caroline Freudenthal is a
Visual Artist, Writer/Storyteller
& a Swedish/global
PR & Communication Specialist/Manager

Caroline starting painting in mid-life. Since 2001 she has produced a body of work
comprising some 350-400 pieces, with a number of exhibitions and displays
of her art at venues and art galleries in Stockholm and New York.
Her artwork is on long-running display in the Save the Children United Nations Office
at the UN Plaza in New York.

An autodidact painter of abstract art working mainly in acrylic, ink and tempera,
Caroline creates visual stories, often in mixed media, fusing art with storytelling.
Works include large scale pieces over 2 metres.

Caroline takes the visual storytelling element one step further, in creating figurative tableaus
for the photo on her exhibition invitation cards, where she poses as an embodiment of the
abstract themes in her artwork, teaming up with talented Swedish female photographers
to realise her creative vision.

A multicultural childhood spent in England, Mexico and Sweden has inspired
and influenced Caroline’s artistic expression. Major sources of inspiration include
CG Jung’s reflections on Alchemy and Psychology, Écriture & Peinture Feminine,
Egyptology, Norse Mythology, travel, art, design, film, fashion, music and literature.
Her creative process often starts with an idea for a concept, before commencing work
on the artistic manifestation of the theme.

Artist’s Statement:
“My fascination with Alchemy has led to many years of abstract interpretations of
alchemical processes—a major part of my body of work is inspired and influenced by Alchemy
and the various experimental stages described in the formulae for turning lead into gold.”

“I am also a big admirer of Mexican Surrealist artist Frida Kahlo, who I view as
a kindred spirit through her creative expression, her loves, her life.
Just as Frida embodied the art of Peinture Feminine, the Feminine is also
a prominent feature in my work.
Frida was also a true Alchemist in both her artistic and personal representation.”

Critique:
Johan Cederlund, Director of the Zorn Museum in Mora, Sweden,
has written in a critique of Caroline’s artwork:
“Caroline Freudenthal's paintings resemble abstract depictions of nature.
Her artwork brings to mind the ’Plein Air’ movement of the 1800s: the blue pieces
recall Monet's garden paintings while the darker canvases resemble intricate studies
of tree trunks and rocks. Caroline’s work is a rhapsody in art.”
