I am Claudia Capone, an Italian artist born in Ivrea in 1975. Today I live and work in Cascinette d’Ivrea, near Turin. I grew up in a creative environment that was deeply connected to the arts. In my family, music, poetry, and painting were part of everyday life. As a result, from an early age I discovered drawing and color as natural tools of expression.
Through lines and shapes, I was already trying to give space to imagination. At the same time, I gradually developed a strong attention to detail and to the observation of the world around me. My professional training is in the field of computer science. However, artistic practice has always accompanied my personal path.
Over the years I continued to draw, paint, and experiment. Gradually, I explored different materials and visual languages, including drawing, painting, ceramics, and watercolor. This period of research allowed me to develop a deeper relationship with the creative gesture. Moreover, it helped me better understand the expressive potential of each technique.
Later, I approached hyperrealism. For a long time, my work focused on the accurate representation of reality.
During that period I devoted great attention to the precision of detail. At the same time, I sought a more conscious and controlled pictorial gesture.
Over time, several life experiences marked important moments of change. Among them were motherhood and a professional turning point in adulthood. Consequently, these passages introduced pauses, reflections, and new perspectives. As a result, my understanding of art gradually began to transform.
Later, I encountered practices connected to listening and presence. In particular, forest therapy and mindfulness expanded my perception of nature and time.
Through these experiences I developed a deeper attention to inner processes. In addition, I learned to observe with a slower and more open gaze.
My current work arises from the dialogue between inner life, nature, and imagination.
Today the creative process has become more intuitive and fluid. The works emerge through listening to gesture, color, and material. Therefore, I use different pictorial and manual techniques. Each work suggests its own direction and language.
Sometimes I begin with a visual intuition. At other times, a spontaneous gesture guides the composition. In both cases, the process remains open and evolving.
I do not follow a rigid or fixed style. Instead, I see each artwork as a space of possibilities. Today I no longer seek only to represent visible reality. Rather, I am interested in exploring what moves beneath the surface. Through color and material, I try to make inner worlds and emotional states visible. Meanwhile, the artworks themselves become spaces of transformation.
My work therefore develops between observation and imagination. In this intermediate space, images gradually emerge that speak of nature, memory, and change.
“I don’t have a style. I paint worlds.”
