CAROLINE DAVID
Caroline David, born in 1975, is a French contemporary painter from the Haut‑Jura region.
After studying marketing and communication, she began her career as a brand manager in the fashion accessories sector.
At 25, she moved to Paris before leaving France in 2004 for Budapest, where she spent seven years that would profoundly shape her trajectory.
It was in Hungary, in 2006, that she began painting and held her first exhibitions, first in galleries and then at the Institut français of Budapest with the Franco‑Hungarian artists’ collective Quatu’Art. This formative period anchored her interest in digital issues—already present in her early works—and opened a lasting dialogue between painting, technology, and the transformations of the contemporary world.
In 2011, she continued her international journey in Shanghai, China, where she became involved in curating and exhibiting contemporary Chinese artists in collaboration with an international communication agency.
She returned to France in 2014, settling in Lille before moving to Roubaix, where she now lives and works. Her years abroad have nurtured a heightened sensitivity to the effects of globalization and to social, ecological, and technological shifts. More recently, her immersion in the world of digital start‑ups has deepened her exploration of themes such as data‑driven societies, artificial intelligence, robotization, and transhumanism.
Her work thus examines, in a sensitive and embodied way, our relationship to the body, to the living world, and to the digital environments that are redefining our modes of existence.
