Caroline Chariot-Dayez (born Brussels, 11 September 1958) is a Belgian hyperrealistic painter.
Although interested in painting from a very early age, she studied philosophy in order to understand what painting is. She was terribly influenced by the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who wrote extensively on perception, vision, embodiment, and painting.
Her vigor has been an ongoing contact between philosophy, which she teaches, and painting. Until the age of forty, she was reluctant to put it on her paintings in public (with the exception of an appearance upon the Belgian Broadcasting Corporation programme “The Arts at Large” in 1995).
She lives and works in Brussels.
