Carolina Vargas Reis

Carolina Vargas Reis is a painter with a unique blend of engineering precision and artistic instinct, shaped by Colombian and Brazilian roots and years spent in Canada. She crafts her own paints from raw pigment, applying them on large surfaces to create layered, tactile, and vivid compositions that blend structured forms with expressive, intuitive brushwork and playful “glitches” of magical realism. Her art radiates warmth, resilience, and hope, celebrating the hidden stories, journeys, and luminous moments within migration and the lived experiences of women and children.
