Clara Aguado

Clara Aguado (Madrid, 1984) is a Spanish artist, painter, illustrator and educator with a background in Fine Arts, German Philology and Human Rights. She has over eleven years of experience teaching art and Spanish in Germany, alongside an ongoing independent artistic practice.

Her work brings together painting, drawing and illustration, exploring themes such as nature, underwater worlds, architecture, social issues and the relationship between human-made and natural environments. Alongside her individual practice, she develops artistic workshops and collaborative projects with children, young people and local communities, including collective mosaics, exhibitions and illustrated books.

She is particularly interested in the potential of art and education as tools for dialogue, participation, inclusion and social transformation. Her practice combines artistic research, education and social engagement, with a focus on interdisciplinary projects that connect art, community participation, environmental awareness and human rights.
