SOBRONIEL Painting by Caroline Cavalier

Caroline Cavalier is a contemporary French artist known for her association with narrative figuration, a movement often described as non-elitist and accessible to all. Initially aspiring to be a cartoonist, she later honed her craft at the Beaux-Arts de Perpignan. Her art, while seemingly simple and playful, reveals a depth of hidden symbols and motifs, often rendered in light blue lines against an azure background.

Cavalier's work thrives on paradox and duality—sea meets sky, fish confront birds, and different forms of art converge. She seamlessly blends these opposites, creating compositions that require viewers to step closer or farther away to grasp their full meaning. Her pieces feature hidden patterns within natural elements, like waves and clouds, and are always dominated by omnipresent eyes that seem to look directly at the viewer, urging self-reflection.

Rather than merely composed, her works are constructed with a palpable, hands-on approach using nails, glue, and varied materials, making her ideas feel tangible and immediate. Her art evokes a magical, almost mythological world where good and evil, ogres and fairies coexist, creating an enchanting yet peculiar atmosphere.
