BIOGRAPHY

Authenticity has always ruled her life. Freedom made it unpredictable. Caroline Bergonzi grew up under the blue Mediterranean sky, with an artist grandfather as her mentor, who passed when she was 11. Attached to Monaco, her home principality, she did choose, at 17, the anonymous life of big cities.

She started with Paris, business school and postgraduate studies in (fashion/luxury) management to acquire the tools she judged necessary to obtain her freedom. In parallel to the challenges, she was active and blossomed in such creatively diverse environments as video games and Parisian Haute Couture. Some exams and missions later, especially in China and in Italy, she chose New York as her new home, for its human masses, rhythms, and mosaic of cultures. The brutal reality of this new urban and mental environment encouraged her in a deeper immersion in empiric philosophy, psychology and spirituality.

Being true to her instincts paid off. The originality of her self-taught solo itinerary and the quality of her work has brought her art to numerous exhibitions and public art (including two monumental public art sculptures in New York) to the World Expo in Shanghai, and even to talk at the United Nations and the UNESCO, in Paris. Her creations have been chronicled by the press and TV (New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BFM TV, NY1 TV...).

Until the pandemic, Caroline Bergonzi spent most of her time in her Creative Laboratory, her studio in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, while regularly returning to her Principality. Since 2020, as the world is mutating, she is improvising a new transition and wondering its impact on her journey.
