Carolina Amat is an artist best known for her paintings of memories from her life in Venezuela, Spain and from her experiences living in other countries.  After her studies of architecture, having a career in accounting, and being a stay-at-home mom, she began to formally study art in The Glassell School of Art in Houston, Texas, and in Montana State University in Billings, Montana. She currently lives and works in Houston, Texas.

She created a series of works entitled ‘Sailing in My Memories’. Using acrylic paint over wood panels and canvas as a medium to represent these memories, Carolina paints vivid realistic images that after are superimposed with several layers of paint allows her combined elements of reality with surrealism. This technique allows her to manipulate her memories that are stronger or weaker, to provide the desired impression of more, or less, vivid recollections.  She pours her spirit into each piece and often includes the color blue because it represents the spiritual connection she has of living near the Caribbean coast. 

In some of her work, Carolina’s architectural background is evident. Using solid shapes, lines, and geometric forms with acrylic marks and pencils, she integrates realistic urban scenes with fictional elements that result in her trademark cityscape abstract style.  

Carolina has been participated in diferents exhibition in Houston Texas with the group Latin American Woman in Arts (LAWAH) and with Silver, Winter and Spring Street Studio Galleries, and also selected in several Juried exhibitions student exhibitions in Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and in Montana State University in Billings, Montana, where she got several awards as Best of the Show and  two Honorable Mention.
