ARO BIOGRAPHY

Caroline Bergeron, known as ARO, was born in Québec in 1975. Her artist name brings together the three pillars that guide her practice: authenticity, romanticism, and originality. Raised in an entrepreneurial family, she grew up in an environment where vision, ambition, and calculated risk nurtured a creative imagination that would later take full flight.

A self-taught artist, ARO discovered abstract art in 2017 during the Elite Program at the École d’Entrepreneurship de Beauce. That moment marked a turning point: painting became not only an action, but an inner language. Her background in business development, her years in the corporate world, and her experience managing successful restaurants forged both discipline and human sensitivity—qualities that now permeate each of her works.

In 2018, she opened her creation studio and gallery space in Stoneham, a hybrid venue dedicated to exploration, dialogue, and cultural engagement. This anchoring point allows her to establish a structured professional presence and offer direct access to her visual universe.

Her artistic journey, rapid and steadily ascending, is marked by significant milestones: participation in the Carrousel du Louvre (2018), presenting a painting to Michelle Obama (2019), and a series of solo exhibitions illustrating the evolution of her abstract language— La Somme de mes rencontres (2018), Urgence de vivre (2018), ParÊtre (2019), Le Temps nous appartient (2021), Renaître (2021), Introspection (2022), Non-Négociable (2023), ADN (2024), and Réflexion (2025), considered by many as a mature synthesis of her practice.

ARO also participates in numerous group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Her works have been shown at World Art Dubai and at the Museum of Civilization in Cairo, confirming international interest in her abstract, emotional, and layered signature style.

Her growing visibility has been accompanied by substantial media coverage, including features in Architectural Digest and a 15-page profile in Beyond Luxury Magazine (Los Angeles, 2025), which positions her work within the North American contemporary art landscape.

In 2025, ARO received the Women of Inspiration™ Award from the Universal Women Network, recognizing both the impact of her artistic career and her social engagement.

​

Beyond painting, she has developed an expanded practice that includes corporate teambuilding workshops, keynote conferences, publications, and creative immersion days.

All these initiatives align toward a central mission that guides both her artwork and her public presence: to create a legacy for future generations by offering art that connects, soothes, challenges, and elevates.

Today, ARO stands as an artist whose deeply intuitive and embodied approach distinguishes her work through its ability to transform the intimate into a universal language. Her contribution to contemporary abstraction reflects a clear intention: to change the world—one artwork, one gesture, one legacy at a time.
