Caroline Chariot-Dayez

Early Days: Caroline Chariot-Dayez (b. Brussels, 11 September 1958) is a Belgian hyper realistic painter.

Career:

Although interested in painting from a very early age, she studied painting philosophy in order to understand what painting is. She was deeply influenced by the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who wrote extensively on perception, vision, embodiment, and painting.

Her life has been an ongoing interaction between philosophy, which she teaches, and painting. Until the age of forty, she was reluctant to show her paintings in public (with the exception of an appearance on the Belgian Broadcasting Corporation programmes The Arts at Large in 1995).
She lives and works in Brussels.
