Born in Argentina, in Buenos Aires, of dual British and Argentine nationality, of Latin-Germanic origin.
Between 1982 and 1992 I stayed in Germany, France, then England, before settling in Vichy then Paris.
Trained as a classical and contemporary dancer at the Buenos Aires Conservatory, my main vocation was professional dance and scenography.
After a short pictorial artistic training at the Conservatory, I worked on a search for my own and unique technique, refusing any external artistic influence, and basing myself on my own feelings, imagination and emotion.
During all these years I have developed an original pictorial technique, based on the use of pure pigments directly on the canvas. This technique led me to be chosen by art experts and critics to exhibit in places like Le Grand Palais in Paris.
Today, I explore abstract work in oil on canvas, very impressed by the approach of Asian painters Chu Teh-Chun and Zao Wou-Ki.
My career as a painter began more than 20 years ago, it came to me because all my paintings at that time were only made for personal pleasure.
Deciding my name as a painter was difficult. At the start of my career I only used my two first names “Claudia-Alejandra” because I wanted my identity to be completely my own, not that of a man.
Today, after careful reflection on my evolution, I decided to create a nickname, a name which reflects, in my feelings, who I have become... MOTI (puns describing what really matters: the relationship between the web and the one who looks at it: ME & YOU)
Beyond a technical approach, my work must be seen as a whole.
Life is movement and the first of these movements is breathing. We could therefore say that life is breathing. Through breathing we are here and now, in the eternal present. By letting ourselves be carried by this movement of inspiration and expiration we are in rhythm with the Whole. Breathing control is the fundamental point of dance, for example.
My pictorial approach confronts the evolution of Being, the conversation with the canvas in the here and now, the process of creation, movement and therefore breathing, that which makes us evolve through awareness. of our present.
I also like to move towards open-mindedness, the union of a Whole and going beyond appearances. This is why my paintings will sometimes be faced with the four elements, sometimes with a play of presence or absence of matter, sometimes with a clear light and then dark like night.
Like the feelings of a dancer, each of my paintings represents a feeling in the present of the moment of a life.
Each of my works wants to be three-dimensional chords that wait to resonate in a soul, that of the one who wants to make it part of their universe.
