"Stories and Emotions on Canvas" is the title of a visual arts exhibition by Carolina Choi, showcased at the gallery of the Portuguese Cultural Center in Beira. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a series of works that reflect the artist's intimate connection with nature and human life.

The exhibition "Stories and Emotions on Canvas" aims to explore themes ranging from the vastness of the sea to the purity of childhood and social challenges such as hunger. In the artist's hands, these themes become open doors to deep reflections and emotions, transforming each canvas into a visual narrative that invites the public to feel and reflect on diverse realities, always infused with a sense of contemplation and empathy.

From a young age, Carolina Choi showed a strong inclination toward the arts, beginning with colored pencils and later with digital illustrations. In 2022, her desire for artistic growth led her to experiment with oil paint, a medium that allows her greater expression. The themes she chooses, such as human faces and the sea, not only showcase her skill but also reveal her quest to understand and convey the emotional depth that captivates her so strongly.

Carolina Choi’s deep connection with the sea is a defining feature of her work, with each painting reflecting the duality of this element: serene and vast, yet powerful and unpredictable. Through colors and textures, she expresses this natural connection, bringing to the canvas the sensitivity she feels before the ocean's immensity.

In addition to her art, Carolina has built a career in the corporate sector, working in the finance department of Transcom Sharaf Logística Lda. With a background in Human Resources Management and an MBA from the Catholic University of Mozambique, the artist reveals a unique versatility, allowing her to balance her creative talent with the demands of the business world.

Carolina's recognition in the art world gained momentum during a previous group exhibition at the Portuguese Cultural Center in Beira, where she presented her work to the public for the first time. This opportunity not only solidified her presence in the city's art scene but also paved the way for her current exhibition, a testament to her ability to communicate emotion through painting.

With this exhibition, Carolina Choi invites all art lovers to share in her visions and emotions, embarking on a journey through stories told in vibrant and heartfelt canvases.
