Caroline de Chaunac’s practice centres on watercolour as a space of convergence — an elastic and expansive medium through which multiple registers of experience can coexist. Rather than separating disciplines or approaches, she allows different modes of working to emerge simultaneously within a single composition, creating layered dialogues between image, gesture, observation and imagination. Her meticulous and time-intensive process pushes watercolour to its material and conceptual limits, embracing error not as failure but as transformation and possibility.

Drawing from attentive observation, de Chaunac’s works combine the playful, performative and dreamlike with moments of unease and instability. Through an expanded sense of time and narrative, everyday situations are subtly reimagined as poetic, psychologically charged spaces. Her paintings create openings for beauty, ambiguity and imagination while responding to the uncertainties of contemporary life.

Caroline de Chaunac studied at the École Supérieure d’Art et Design de Grenoble, receiving a DNSEP (Master’s degree) between 2004 and 2006, following earlier studies at the École Supérieure d’Art et Design de Pau and the ESIN–Polycréa.

Recent solo and duo exhibitions include Arias – de Chaunac (2025–26) at LuCo Arte Galería, Instrucciones para ser nómada sin caminar (2024) at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Salta, and Estatus híbrido (2023) at Fundación Procultura Salta.

In 2026, de Chaunac was selected for the Delphian Gallery Open Call and will take part in the exhibition at Unit 1 Gallery Workshop, alongside participation in Coolcity 3000 as part of the Biennale de l’Image Possible. She has also received grants from Desarrollo Cultural Salta (2023) and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (2022).

Her work is held in private collections, including the CAM Collection (Alfredo Muñoz), the Cora Reutemann Collection, and the Luis Escoda Collection in Argentina.
