Working across canvas paintings, sculptures, and monumental murals, Caroline Derveaux combines vibrant colors with a geometric visual language, translating her emotions, encounters, and struggles into abstract forms.
In her murals and canvases, Caroline Derveaux paints in a graphic, abstract style characterized by flat areas of color. Yet, upon closer inspection, her works reveal themselves as landscapes, portraits, and settings; they blend architectural and organic shapes that open onto three-dimensional worlds—invitations to journey, escapes in search of memories, beauty, and harmony.
Caroline ‘s work explores a wide range of themes, including the representation of the feminine and the living world, the storytelling of dreams, memories, and the unconscious, as well as introspective journeys and the channels of perception—all rendered through the innocent playfulness of graphic design.
Caroline Derveaux has exhibited her works in numerous galleries such as Galerie Larock-Granoff in Paris, Le Comoedia in Brest, Galerie Montana in Barcelona and alongside the Vasarely Foundation for the exhibition Vasarely Legacy in 2022. She has participated in various artistic residencies such as Gemellarte in Italy, Artshake in The Netherlands, Massa Stories in Morroco, Bacalart in Mexico, etc.
Her works are held in numerous private collections (including Longchamp, Bacardi, L'Oréal, and Adidas). Caroline has notably completed special commissions for the City of Paris, the Georges Pompidou Hospital, the FFT (for Roland-Garros and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games), and the city of Terni, Italy, among others. She has also participated three times in the *Un Immeuble, Une Œuvre* ("One Building, One Work") project led by the Ministry of Culture.
Caroline Derveaux was nominated for the "Creation" award at the EllesdeFrance ceremony in 2023 in recognition of her commitment, and in 2026, she received an honorary medal from the city of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine.
Caroline’s upcoming projects include a 30-meter-high wall for the town of La Courneuve (93), a mural for the Cipriani Theatre in Saint-Ouen (93), and Sortir du Cadre exhibition at the Campredon Art & Image art center in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (84), scheduled for April 2027.
This winter, Caroline will continue her exploration of women's football by creating a series of abstract, three-dimensional portraits.
