Hey everyone,
My name is Caroline Vincent, and I'm a French photographer, painter and writer. Above all, I'm a multidisciplinary, multipassonate artist always searching for new mediums, new ways to tell my story.
Art is all my life. From my work, down to my hobbies (movies and shows, from which I can't live without), art is every part of my life.
From the outside, my style can be all over the place. I assume that choice as I can't imprison myself creating the same kind of art over and over again. I need variety and I need to pursue wholeheartedly my endless curiosity.
However, there's something connecting all my different artwork together, it's the storytelling aspect of it…
More than an analog photographer or a painter or a writer or whatever else I'll call myself in the future, I see myself as a storyteller. In fact, I often feel like I'm a creative idea factory… I can't be put in a box and just repeat the same art style forever. It's suffocating for me. Hence the urge to tell my story through different styles and crafts.
Indeed, every art project I do is about self expression. I want to share my joys and fears and talk about how I'm dealing with this world.
Therefore, each craft has a specific purpose.
Painting helps me regulate my emotions and find stillness in an overwhelming loud world. It's also my favorite craft, one where I can explore and reconnect to the innocence and purity of creativity while sharing bits and pieces about my brain wiring.
Taking photographs, depending on the projects I'm working on, be it my travel pics or my tribute to Cinema Project, helps me to either reconnect to myself and Nature or preserve the beauty around me forever so I never forget how life, in spite of its many downs, can be blissful.
And as far as my writing goes, engaging in that craft helps me make sense of the world around me so I can navigate it better and thus live in it more easily.
Being a late diagnosed autistic woman with adhd is also important to mention as the way I understand myself and the world, and the way I approach my art is intrinsically linked to my different brain wiring.
The need to constantly move from one craft and style to another is a very adhd thing for instance… Painting is stimming which is a very autistic and adhd thing too.
But it's obviously more complex than that and though lots of aspects of what and how I create is linked to my neurodivergence, I'm above all else just a human being using art to find more joy in life hoping that while you look at my work you find relief and wisdom and beauty in it as well!
