I am Claudia Capone an Italian artist born in Ivrea in 1975. I currently live and work in Cascinette d’Ivrea, near Turin. I grew up in an environment where music, poetry, and painting were part of everyday life, and from an early age I recognized drawing and color as spaces of authentic expression.
Although professionally trained in information technology, I continued to cultivate an independent artistic practice, experimenting with different materials and techniques—from drawing and painting, to ceramics and watercolor, followed by a long phase devoted to hyperrealism. During those years, my focus was on the faithful representation of reality, precision of detail, and control of gesture.
Life experiences, periods of pause related to motherhood, and a professional turning point in adulthood marked moments of profound transformation. Encountering practices such as forest therapy and mindfulness expanded the way I observe and listen, significantly influencing my artistic vision.
My subsequent artistic path arises from the desire to translate into images the ongoing dialogue between inner experience, nature, and imagination. My works take shape through an intuitive and listening-based process, in which gesture, color, and material guide their creation. I work with a variety of painterly and manual techniques, choosing each time the approach best suited to give form to what emerges. I do not follow a fixed style; I consider each work an open space, a field of possibilities in constant transformation. I no longer seek to describe what I see, but to make visible inner worlds, emotional states, and processes of transformation that often escape words.
“I don’t have a style. I paint worlds.”
