Barone’s dreamlike works: Brush the world to fix it!

The Casa de Cultura, Fuengirola, will host the exhibition A Brush to fix the World from July 14 until August 29. This is a painting show by Carina Barone. She is one of the world’s most collectible artists.

Carina barone is an Austrian-born French-American painter who divides her time between Paris, Marbella and Paris. She brings a vivid and unique perspective to the work she creates. With a remarkable career spanning over three decades, Barone transitioned from being a supermodel, trapeze artist, and Hollywood actress, working with acclaimed filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard and Carlos Saura, to dedicating herself fully to naïve painting. Her expressive, colourful style is inspired by Flemish primitives and Italian primitives as well as masters such as Monet and Matisse. She combines innocence and sophistication to create vivid, dreamlike worlds.

The exhibition includes 26 pieces that invite viewers rediscover the beauty of life through Barone’s lense of joy, tenderness and hope. Barone called the show “an incredible show” and described it as an act artistic optimism.

Barone’s career is filled with prestigious awards. She won the Audience Award in Barcelona at the BCM Gallery, where she also was an honour guest artist. She is a regular participant in prestigious art salons such as the Salon Comparaisons in Paris and Salon d’Automne. Her works are part of private collections worldwide and are displayed in institutions such as the International Museum of Naïve Art in Vicq, France, and the Magog Museum of Naïve Art in Quebec, Canada.
