About Carolina de la Cajiga : Carolina de la Cajiga is a self-made multidisciplinary explorer based in Vancouver, Canada, always searching for new ways of expressing what goes on in her mind. Her art spans painting, sculpture, installation, photography and design. De la Cajiga embraces analysis and exploration to keep advancing. Her passion is the creation of artwork that shows the tension between intellect and intuition, enjoyment and surprise. She is the creator of ‘Katharography’, a process to transform photos into one-of-a-kind designs.
