Born in Lima, Perú, Claudia is a Ventura-based artist, illustrator, and educator whose work explores the human condition through a female lens. Rooted in both fine art and illustration, her figurative pieces weave abstraction, bold colors, and organic forms into visual poetry—meditations on identity, resilience, and empowerment.
A childhood spent drawing, collaging, and storytelling shaped her artistic voice, one that seeks the essence of ideas through imagery. Her work uplifts narratives of strength, contemplation, and connection, fostering inclusivity and a sense of purpose.
In my studio, I move between painting, drawing, and digital illustration, blending fine art and storytelling. My work is both introspective and expressive—rooted in figurative imagery, texture, and the quiet details that shape our inner worlds. Whether working with paint, pencil, or pixels, I explore memory, emotion, and the space between observation and imagination. Each piece is a dialogue between the tactile and the digital, the personal and the universal.
She holds a Master of Art from California State University and lives with her family in Ventura, CA.
"Finding the visual equivalent of a concept is what excites me about being an artist. Taking an idea and re-interpreting it pictorially drives my work. My palette is characterized by bold and vibrant colours, empowered and confident characters, organic linework and shapes, and uplifting storytelling."
