Carolina Dutruel – Q1 Art Competition – Artist Portfolio Magazine

Carolina Dutruel is an emerging studio artist working on fine art photography. Using her portraits as a means of story-telling, Carolina draws inspiration from themes of freedom, self-realization and the complexity of human relations. Her work is conceptual, thoughtful and emotional, with an ethereal and haunting quality that makes it surreal, and even magical at times. She is compelled to create worlds and stories of self-determination and self-improvement, her photography ultimately embodying her vision of women in society – delicate, yet strong-minded and strong-willed.
Born in Argentina, Carolina holds a Degree in English into Spanish Translation from the University of Córdoba. In 2010, she moved with her family to New Zealand where her love for photography started and in 2015 she received her Diploma in Digital Photography from the Southern Institute of Technology. Since then, her work has been part of many group exhibitions, including more than 12 International Salons in more than 10 countries. She has just completed her latest collection of portraits entitled Growth, where she delves into the constant struggle to find ourselves among all the heavy burdens that society imposes on us, with each image telling a unique story of self-determination and the pursuit of our own selves.
