Caroline Chariot-Dayez

Who is Caroline Chariot-Dayez?

Caroline Chariot-Dayez is a Belgian hyperrealistic painter.

Although interested in painting from a very early age, she studied philosophy in order to understand what painting is. She was deeply influenced by the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who wrote extensively on perception, vision, embodiment, and painting.

Her life has been an ongoing interaction between philosophy, which she teaches, and painting. Until the age of forty, she was reluctant to show her paintings in public.

She lives and works in Brussels.
