Carolina Simonet is a Brazilian artist, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1994, lived part of her childhood and adolescence in Petrópolis, at the age of 18 returned to the metropolis to join the faculty of advertising and propaganda. Her father is manager in engineering company and his mother secretary. The artist has in her memories scenes in which she witnessed her mother making handicrafts and always with the presence of music. Despite the absence of exploration of this artistic side by her mother, the artist refers to her as a source of inspiration, making her today "flirt" with different art forms such as music, theater and visual arts. Out of her twenty-two years of age she began to dedicate herself professionally in the universe of digital collage. In a didactic way the artist makes her own searches for her improvement and thus considers herself self-taught. Her parents soon realized that her daughter's dedication went far beyond a hobby but a profession and supported her.
For Carolina Simonet the entire process of creating her art is part of the praise of the finished work. Admiration and criticism go together for her, whether for the construction of new forms or even new discoveries at the highest point of art. Her admiration for artists like Salvador Dalí, Hilma Af Klint, Tarcila do Amaral, Frida and many others are part of her sources of inspiration, having as relevant an introspection in her creations. Her need to externalize, or even her encounter with images, or forms that cross her soul, makes her feel that it is necessary to bring them to intervene in her creations, being considered a long search, in which the image has to touch her intimate complete. For her artistic recognition is a consequence of everything that comes along improving, of everything that has produced in these years of career.
Carolina Simonet had an artistic presence on display in the city of Petrópolis where she lives.
"I try to imagine a world without music, a world without colors and artistic forms, only comes a gray and hard image in the mind. Art has a very beautiful and important place, new possibilities, expression and freedom.
Art for me is out. Art for me is to be able to express myself without using words, only using pictures and figures. I think that's it, feeling and expression. "
