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

Caroline starting painting in mid-life. 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.

Since 2001 Caroline 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.

Taking the visual storytelling element one step further, Caroline creates 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 manifestations 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 a prominent feature in my work. Frida was also a true Alchemist in both
her artistic and personal representation.”
-Caroline Freudenthal

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.”
