Who is Clara Mazzeo?

Clara Mazzeo was born in Santos/SP and currently lives in Rio de Janeiro/RJ. She has been a contemporary self-taught Visual Artist for five years, creating paintings with acrylic, a more recent pictorial technique. 
Clara Mazzeo's artistic journey began in her childhood, as she was fascinated by handicrafts and drawing classes. As her early passion for the arts has developed over time, she had the opportunity to improve her knowledge and skills in the Drawing and Oil Painting Course at Atelier Fajardo & Calgam Artes, Conservação e Restauro (2018 to 2020). 
 

The development and definition of her artistic style are the natural steps in the journey of any Artist. Shifting from oil to acrylic paintings reflects Clara’s flexibility and willingness to experiment with different techniques and artistic sources. The choice of acrylic painting enabled a more outstanding work production, allowing her to explore and improve her central theme, nature. 
 

Her loose style, inspired by Fauvism, with vibrant and harmonic colours, reveals a unique and lively artistic approach. Clara incorporates movement and expressiveness into her paintings using short, irregular brushstrokes characteristic of post-Impressionism. Van Gogh's influence on her artwork, including impasto and textures, enhances her creations' tactile and sensorial expression! The eclectic and stylised combination highlights the individuality of her artistic expression. 
 

Throughout her artistic journey, Clara Mazzeo has managed to define her artistic identity and create a different style that reflects her passion for Nature and her desire to express herself uniquely. Her dedication to continuously improving her skills and techniques has been reflected in her artwork. 
Her inspiring story proves that Art can be a rewarding self-expression and can contribute to a personal evolution path.
