About the Artist

Carolina Avalos is a California-based watercolor artist whose creative journey was shaped by her background in Architecture, it was during those years as a college student that she discovered her love for art. Over the years her path led to embrace watercolors as the medium of choice, "my language" as she often refers to, fascinated by its fluidity, transparency and movement and captivated by the delicate way it captures the ever-changing essence of the natural world. 

As what inspires her work, Nature as a female force is the main source of inspiration, with all its vibrant colors, rich textures, subtle curves, sharp angles, delicate shapes, her style reflects a deep connection and appreciation for Nature and the Feminine Spirit within, this force is a powerful, intuitive energy that guides her creative process giving her paintings a sense of balance and harmony, reflecting both strength and grace.

You are invited to join her journey and explore her collection of original work and giclee prints.
