BIOGRAPHY

Born in the USA and raised in Paris, Caroline Tronel is a trailblazing artist who has captivated the international art scene with her bold, thought-provoking creations. Now based in Hong Kong, she transforms urban landscapes with powerful sculptures, murals, and installations that redefine the boundaries between art, sustainability, and culture

​

Renowned for her signature GIANT CRUSHED CANS series, Tronel challenges perceptions of consumerism and waste, turning discarded materials into monumental works of art. Her pieces are more than sculptures—they are a call to action, inspiring a global dialogue on sustainability and the power of reinvention.
​​

Her impact is undeniable: her works have adorned the walls of International Art Fairs and prestigious venues such as K11 MUSEA, the HONG KONG CONVENTION CENTER, TAI KWUN, SOHO HOUSE, the MONDRIAN HOTEL, The CORDIS HOTEL and The EAST HOTEL TAIKOO, as well as SHANGHAI EXHIBITION CENTER and the contemporary art center REXKL in Kuala Lumpur. She has also been honoured with exhibitions at the French Consul General’s RESIDENCE and the FRENCH MAY ARTS FESTIVAL, solidifying her status as a force in contemporary art.

​

Tronel’s influence extends beyond traditional art spaces. Her collaborations with luxury international brands—including VALRHONA, MOLESKINE, CASETIFY, KAVIARI PARIS, and KIBO—make creativity an everyday experience. 

​

In 2024, a documentary featuring her GIANT CRUSHED CANS series was showcased at the International Movie Festival on Sustainable Development, further amplifying her voice on a global stage.

​

Beyond her sculptural work, her emblematic SHINING HEART—a reimagining of the Chinese Double Happiness symbol—adorns walls across the city, symbolizing interconnected souls and the universal longing for connection in an era of fragmentation.

 

With a visionary approach and an unrelenting commitment to meaningful art, Caroline Tronel continues to push boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on contemporary culture.
