About the Artist

Vanessa Caroli is a Venezuelan-born, UK-based abstract artist known for her expressive, textured acrylic paintings that explore emotion, intuition, and the beauty found in simplicity. Entirely self-taught, she embraces freedom and spontaneity in her creative process, allowing each piece to evolve organically through layers of colour, mark-making, and texture.

Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, Vanessa uses palette knives, markers, and unconventional tools to build depth and movement within her compositions. Her art radiates energy and emotion, inviting viewers to connect with their own feelings through colour, rhythm, and form. Each work is an expression of discovery — raw, joyful, and deeply human.

Artist Statement

“My work is an exploration of emotion and freedom. I paint intuitively, creating layers of texture and colour that reflect moments of joy, calm, and spontaneity. Guided by curiosity rather than control, I let each piece unfold naturally until it feels complete. My goal is simple — to evoke beauty, positivity, and connection through abstract expression.”

Exhibitions and Collectors

Vanessa Caroli’s paintings are held in private collections across the UK, Europe, and South America. Her work is admired by collectors and interior designers alike for its uplifting energy and its ability to bring warmth, harmony, and emotion to any space.

She has exhibited extensively, including five times at The Other Art Fair London, as well as at Grand Designs Birmingham and Manchester Art Fair, among others. Vanessa continues to expand her artistic practice through group exhibitions, art fairs, and bespoke commissions, and is represented by Art in Offices London.
