Caroline Collom is an abstract artist whose practice delves into the multi-dimensional nature of painting. Inspired by her surroundings, she embarks on a visual journey, extracting abstract forms from their original context and isolating them within a space that cultivates a profound dialogue of form.

Her paintings transcend conventional representation, granting abstract forms the freedom to exist independently and convey their own narratives. Through the interplay of shapes, colours, and textures, she creates a captivating visual language that beckons viewers to immerse themselves in the enigmatic beauty she portrays.
