CAROLINE CHARIOT-DAYEZ

Caroline Chariot-Dayez was born in Brussels in 1958. Painting was part of her life from a very early age. When she started her studies, her prime concern was to understand what painting is, and as a result she enrolled on a philosophy course where she discovered the works of the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who would leave a deep imprint on her pictorial oeuvre.

Her life has been an ongoing interaction between philosophy, which she teaches, and painting. She considers them to be two sides of the same thing. But until the age of forty, she felt reluctant to show her paintings in public (with the exception of an appearance on the RTBF programme “Les arts en liberté” [The Arts at Large]  in March 1995, presented by Christian Bussy).

Her outstanding paintings, which are both technically flawless and intellectually challenging, are now gaining widespread critical acclaim.
