“A painting is at its best when you see the soul of the artist and the soul of the subject in one. They both come through, and they both become immortalized.”
—Voltaire
Bio
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but presently living and working in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, USA, Claudia creates visually stimulating portraits through bursts of vibrant colors.
From a young age, Claudia instinctively came to the understanding of the full-color spectrum and the relationship of forms and shapes and the ability to express that understanding onto a canvas. Over the years, this gift has grown passionately into a masterfully harnessed talent, so much that she’s become renowned for her specialization in Mixed Media Art known for exclusionary portraits.
Using alcohol-based inks as a medium, Claudia highlights her characters with striking backgrounds and vibrant colors reflecting the beauty and fluidity of the inks - crafting pieces almost impossible to ignore. Her work has gained status in a number of large, renowned exhibitions and more.
Artistic Statement
My works are a visual expression of how I see the world. When I look, I see colors. Colors appeal to me, they speak, and I express them.
I may not have the vocabulary to express how I see things; my paintings are my way of communicating my truth, and I have gotten to a point where I can consistently express how I see the world.
Each painting I create is unique in its own right; however, you’ll notice the similarities in all my work if you look closely enough. From explosive backgrounds to colorful true to life depictions of my subjects, my art takes from the ordinary and adds spice to it.
