Caroline Venencie, a watercolorist with pop colors
Born in Paris and from a family of architects, it was only natural that Caroline graduated in Architecture from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
Recognized for five years as a painter, her watercolors invite the viewer to immerse themselves in her colorful, joyful and deceptively naive world where one can read in dotted lines her atypical journey.
Women, flowers, and animals intersect and respond to one another in her watercolors, each employing its own symbolism and thus concealing deeper messages and meanings, offering an additional dimension to interpretation.
This secret language woven through his compositions invites the viewer to a more intimate reflection, a reading that goes beyond appearances.
Through her painting, Caroline seeks not only to share the beauty of Nature with the public, but also to raise awareness of the urgent need to preserve these natural wonders.
Her artistic vision, imbued with joy and positivity, is reflected in the use of bright and energetic colors that blend different techniques and mediums to create dynamic works, full of life and hope.
- Caroline Venencie - Painter As a watercolor artist, I create luminous and colorful works that explore the union of woman and nature. My practice is based on the fluidity and unpredictability of watercolor, giving rise to lush compositions in a deceptively naive style. My work highlights a joyful and poetic aesthetic, where color becomes language and joy an act of resistance. My watercolors have found their way into private collections in more than nine countries, and I am represented by the "Exit" art gallery in Aix-les-Bains. Each original painting is presented at exhibitions in renowned art galleries and art fairs. Soon, some of my larger paintings will be auctioned by Parisian auctioneers at a prestigious charity event.
What is my artistic approach? My work unfolds in a universe I like to call "deceptively naive art": I use a palette of vibrant colors, imaginary flowers that always unfold around a central subject (portrait, animal, etc.), composed of simple shapes with numerous geometric details. The work, seemingly energetic, colorful, and easy to interpret, actually contains many references to classical art and invites a second, more symbolic and spiritual reading. I explore the inseparable links between woman and nature, which I see as two expressions of the same vital energy: they embody the gentle force that underlies life and on which our future depends. For me, painting is celebrating this silent power. I seek to convey joy, to remind us of the beauty of life, to create images that unite rather than divide. My paintings carry a message of hope: that of sisterhood, reconciliation with nature, and a future to be created in balance. My method is based on an intuitive and meticulous approach. Over time, my palette has expanded, incorporating fluorescent colors, geometric shapes from different cultures, gold leaf for its luminosity, and acrylic markers for greater freedom. Each work is conceived as an inner garden, a space for contemplation where gentleness becomes an act of resistance and beauty, a form of commitment. A modern painting that will find a place of honor in your home décor.
What is my artistic background? My artistic journey began with architectural studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where I learned about composition and space. Then, for 15 years, I ran my own business in illustration and sewing, which allowed me to explore materials, color, and detail. Today, watercolor has become my preferred medium. It offers me the freedom I've been seeking: it flows, spreads, sometimes escapes my control—and it is precisely in its unpredictability that poetry is born.
![🇬🇧Some paintings feel like a piece of sunshine trapped on paper…
In the middle of a tropical morning, a little saffron tanager landed on my watercolor sheet — glowing with gold and lemon hues.
I captured that instant before it flew away.
Now, this small luminous bird is waiting for its collector — someone who sees beauty in fleeting moments.
The original piece is for sale on my website (link in bio) or DM me for details.

🇫🇷 Certaines aquarelles ressemblent à un morceau de soleil posé sur le papier…
Un matin tropical, un petit calliste safran s’est posé sur ma feuille — éclatant de jaune et de lumière.
J’ai peint ce moment avant qu’il ne s’envole.
Aujourd’hui, cet oiseau doré cherche encore son collectionneur — quelqu’un qui sait reconnaître la beauté de l’instant fragile.
Retrouvez-le dans la boutique avant qu’il ne s’envole! [lien en bio]
