Artworks by 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 colors. I started with simple subjects, but soon realized 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 favorite subjects remain animals. In some surreal paintings, I like to insert animals in 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.

I hope that my creations inspire those who look at them to explore their own creativity, to never stop dreaming and imagining new worlds. Each painting is a step forward for me, an opportunity to grow as an artist and to discover myself. Creativity is a flowing river: once it is allowed to flow, it never stops. Each creation is a consequence of the previous one, a step in a continuous evolution.

In recent years, many of my paintings have flown overseas, finding a home in private collections worldwide. In 2026, my artistic journey marked another exciting milestone: my work entered the international contract market through a digital license for a prestigious hotel in Dallas, Texas, thanks to a collaboration with Soho Art Consulting.
