Detail Composite Painting #98 by Claudia Desgranges 2025
When asked about her painting, she says: "My goal is to achieve freedom in painting, to go beyond conventions, to initiate new ways of seeing. We are exposed to so many media, everything is moving faster and faster, many things at once. I respond to this with the slow medium of painting ... The goal is not to immerse oneself in a picture, but rather to let the eye wander."
Claudia Desgranges is known for her lively, luminous paintings characterised by intense colour tones. Whether painting on canvas, foil or metal, encounters with the painter's works of art are always immersive. Claudia Desgranges' art shows how inexhaustible painting can be.
