Claudia’s work touches the self, the profoundness and the important questions in life. She is an inagotable artist that is always looking for new ways of expressing and using painting as a philosophical way of feeling, questioning and expressing. Each of her paintings can be viewed as several paintings as her symbols and language are not static. Her technique as an artist is of a very high ceiling as she can create small and well defined emphasis in different elements of an image. She is always searching for the things that are near to her.
