About Claudia Daminato
Since I was a child, I've always had a pencil in my hand, drawing on anything that came my way, portraying people, animals, everything I saw. This passion accompanied me throughout my childhood and adolescence. Then, one day by chance, I found my old tempera paints. It was like rekindling a flame, and from then on, I never stopped painting. My first paintings were an exploration, a way to understand what I could create with colours. I started with simple subjects, but soon realised that animals were what represented me the most. From there, my passion grew, and I began to experiment with different artistic representations while maintaining my acrylic technique.
My artistic journey began with realism, but over time I developed a personal style that blends realistic and surreal elements. Despite not setting limits on subjects and trying to be guided by creativity, my favourite subjects remain animals. In some surreal paintings, I like to insert animals into unreal or fantastic situations, playing with elements, while in others they become the protagonists of my dreamlike worlds. With the acrylic technique, my realistic style and attention to detail, I create a bridge between the real world and imagination, making the unreal tangible. I try to impress with realism and surprise with surrealism, inviting the viewer to be moved, to reflect, and to be carried away by imagination.
