About Claudia
Claudia Carballada is a visual artist with a studio practice rooted in drawing and painting, extending to installation and performance. The impetus of her work comes from the exploration of emotive and intuitive mark-making as it aligns with the vibrations of color, movement and emotion, all represented through gestural abstraction. Claudia is Creative Director for The Discovery Project, an ensemble based in Los Angeles which produces multimedia installations for performances based in music. Together with this team, she creates concepts, maintains the role of scenographer, and engages in performance with live painting and drawing. She has guest lectured in figure painting and taught drawing, painting, and figure drawing at many universities and community organizations. She has coordinated gesture drawing/dance workshops and gallery performances as well as exhibited her work in numerous exhibitions.
