Claar Delfsma

I am an Amsterdam based artist/designer who 'translates' social-cultural topics in art and design. Based on visual awareness to experience other perspectives. My background is in graphic design and I worked as an award-winning art director/creative lead for many organizations and (inter-)national design agencies. Last year I introduced my artwork to the world and was invited for a solo exhibition. My research of meaningful colors translated in visual art work will continue.
