Claudia
Castro Barbosa

Graduated in architecture, art has always been present in her profession through the artistic presentation of projects: perspectives and humanized buildings plans for installations of sale booth exhibitions.

In  2015 she attended the School of Visual Arts in Parque Lage, Rio , later moving on to take the course of materials in painting given by Katie Van Schepenberg. 

Since then she has embedded architecture in her paintings, sketching rigid borderlines that are geometrically very precise. 

Her leit motiv expresses  interior and exterior interactions viewing these through windows that thrust us towards the scenery. Initially the outside is guarded by faint transparencies or filters enticing the spectator to gaze at the real or sometimes imaginary settings.

Presently she focuses on portraying the dire transformation of the landscape  being invaded by urban backdrops . Her message, in abstract as one can attest that the figurative gives way to a "design sculpture" that contests for a topological place out there. This battle is beyond the support and we may say the protection that the windows convey.
