Carolina Jaen Merendino

Born and raised in Panama with Italian roots, Carolina Jaen has
developed a great passion for visual arts and in particular for
painting inspired by her career as an architect and interior
designer.
Very visible in her works are all the characteristics of a vast
visual language linked to a harmonious palette of colors and
natural forms. There is a clear visual reference to balance and
equilibrium in every work as the result of compelling observation
and her individual taste for art. The projection of space and
boundaries is a clear evolution from her educational formation as
well as hands on experience she has gathered. Inside the works,
there are all the different characteristics that relate to the
many factors that can determine a visual space. It’s a knowledge
derive from the consolation she has achieve during her career.
Being the daughter of an artist and a well-travelled person, has
helped enhanced her vision to identify all the archetypes that are
present in the Mediterranean and modern culture. It might be her
Italian origins that make these element feather accentuated, as
well as the natural surroundings in her hometown Panama City, a
modern urban scene immersed in the tropical forest. These
contrasting factors offer an infinite reference in forms of
vegetations and the postmodern architecture.
Her work breathes this synthesis of styles in every canvas making
it as unique as universal reference which are on display in every
original work related to the natural meaning of a pure spirit of
gratitude and simplicity. It’s perhaps the result that comes of an
education in Europe and the Americas. Defining a postmodern vision
whose origin are always embedded in the primordial aspects of a
sincere art.
