About Caro Pepe

My work explores the emotional complexity of human beings through female figures that embody both vulnerability and strength. I am particularly drawn to the subtle language of gestures and expressions—those quiet moments that reveal internal states we often struggle to articulate.

I work primarily with acrylics, combining detailed brushwork with layered transparencies to build an atmosphere of stillness and introspection. Each piece begins with an emotion or idea, often rooted in memory, observation, or personal experience, and develops intuitively through the process of painting.

Storytelling, intimacy, and the human condition are at the heart of what I do. I’m inspired by fleeting moods, unspoken thoughts, and the delicate tension between what is shown and what remains hidden. My aim is to create images that invite contemplation and offer space for emotional resonance.
