ARO’s work is a visceral dance of emotion and instinct, where layers of color and movement converge to reveal a raw, unfiltered inner world—each canvas a powerful act of liberation and presence.
Caroline Bergeron (b. 1975, Quebec City, Canada), known by her artist name ARO, is a self-taught contemporary artist whose work captures the essence of authenticity, romanticism, and originality. ARO’s journey into the world of art began at the age of 42, following a successful entrepreneurial career as the director of business development for Campbell’s Soups and as the owner of renowned restaurants in Old Quebec. Her transition from business leader to artist was catalyzed by a transformative workshop in 2017, which shifted the trajectory of her life and career.
ARO’s art is deeply personal, reflecting her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to creating emotional connections with her audience. Her works have been exhibited internationally in Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia, with notable shows at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and exhibitions at prestigious contemporary art museums, including her debut in 2020 at MACVR3D in France. A pivotal moment in her career was presenting one of her paintings to Michelle Obama, an experience that solidified her place in the international art world.
Recognized for her exceptional talent, ARO’s work was appraised in 2018 by a Canadian art expert and again in 2020 by Akoun in France, affirming her growing value in the contemporary art market. Featured in prominent publications, including Architectural Digest, ARO is not only a rising star in the global art scene but also a visionary focused on creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
Collectors drawn to emotionally resonant works that fuse creative originality with artistic mastery will recognize ARO’s paintings as a unique and compelling investment in the legacy of an exceptional contemporary artist.
