Claudia Verciani
San Diego, California
Inspired by the great Impressionist painters, Claudia uses paint emotionally to depict the beauty of life. She is most inspired by light, and as such, tends to paint en plein air frequently. Claudia strives to capture singular, transient moments in time in which the contrast between light and dark values are striking. She presents a body of work that conveys traditionally Impressionist influences across varying choices of subject matter.
Artist Statement
I view myself as a Contemporary Impressionist oil painter, influenced by the great Impressionist painters, such as Sorolla, William Wendt, and Edgar Payne.
My artistic method is feeling-based; it seeks to capture the mood that resides within a single, fleeting moment in time. Whether I am painting a landscape, still life, or portrait, I weave the subject into the work through color and light. I am a light chaser–I prefer subjects that show a strong contrast between light and dark.
