About

b. 1985 Chile

Carolina Alvear Bello is a Swedish artist, productiondesigner and costumedesigner. She graduated 2015 in Art (BA) – at Konstfack, University College of Arts, Craft and Design and is currently studying Production design (MA) at Stockholms Konstnärliga högskola.

Carolina’s interest is working within a spatial context and has the last couple of years worked with art, theater and productiondesign for TV Drama and film.

 

Carolina exhibited her art and worked as a costume and maskdesigner at Kroppens Hus: 2021 at Galleri 4, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern together with art- and theater experience Väntrummet and in 2022/2023 at Stadsgårdsterminalen together with immersive theatercompany Svärmen with Metropol. 2022-2023 she worked as a productiondesigner for tv show Från Trakten airing in May 2023 at SVT.

In her art Carolina works with existential questions of our identity, reality and immaterial realm. Through installation, technology, textile sculpturing and performance she portrays a fine line between surrealism and reality, power and vulnerability working towards social interaction.

She uses the body as a method for creating, as a machine or tool that shapes forms that are influenced by inner ideas, impulses and subconscious thoughts. Carolinas art exposes unsighted parts of the body and through textile surgery she gives her inner anatomy an outer form.
