Hi! I am Caro Arévalo
I am a Peruvian visual artist based in Woodstock, NY.
My artwork is embodied in exploring the plant and fungi kingdoms as seen with our naked eyes and through the microscopes; the taxonomy and physicality of living beings as well as the invisible yet powerful spirit and consciousness each of them carries. My work starts by doing research in nature, followed by capturing it under microscopes and then starting to work on paintings that express these microscopic observations as well as what has been recorded on the field.
My family comes from the jungle in Peru and from my Amazonian heritage I embrace the notion that we are all connected, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, embracing our unity with nature in our daily lives. Through my paintings and videos I invite us to cultivate more love towards ourselves and our planet in order to stay creative, curious and aligned with our purpose in the world.
