Fer Caggiano is a Brazilianborn painter, who specializes in landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Ranging from a traditional to modern style, she creates colorful, textured, impasto oil paintings that capture visions of the world she sees. Not only does Caggiano make bold statements with her oils, she also paints using watercolor to create more subtle, relaxing artwork.
Caggiano has loved art since opening her very first box of crayons. After years in advertising and marketing, her heart eventually led her back to painting so she moved to New York and enrolled at The Art Students League where she studied painting, drawing and mixed media. Her art has since been recognized worldwide and was showcased in multiple galleries, including at Agora Gallery in SOHO.
“I see art as my voice,” she says. “Sometimes I look to share the beauty that I perceive in the world and sometimes I want to make people think and question a topic. I see every painting as a portal, with the ability to transport people to a different mindset. Triggering a set of emotions, whether bringing the observer to a peaceful place or encouraging their minds to venture into new ideas.”
Caggiano’s exhibition Saudade, which runs through September 30 at Lowcountry Artists Gallery in Charleston, is inspired by her Brazilian upbringing. “My long-term focus is a show honouring strong and inspiring women,” she says. “I will be painting a series of women who dominate in their industries and donating a portion of the profits to charities. We are looking to launch the show in early 2020.”
