Carolina Pereira

Yo! Hi there.

My name is Carolina Pereira de Almeida. I am a Brazilian multi-disciplinary artist and graphic designer whose works explore the interplay of memories, dreams, and the unconscious. Through abstract compositions and my use of textures, colors, and light, I capture the fragmented and elusive nature of these inner worlds.


I am drawn to the contrasting mediums of rug tufting and neon bending, each offering unique qualities. The rug's gentle softness contrasts the coldness and rigidity of the glass, evoking a harmonious blend of comfort and warmth with vibrant bursts of color and texture that stir feelings of nostalgia.
