Claudia De Grandi

My work explores the transcendental space where nature, imagination, and curiosity converge. Drawing inspiration from the fluidity of horizons, the rhythm of sea waves, and the quiet presence of the moon, I seek to evoke a sense of reflection and contemplation. By navigating the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, my compositions invite the viewer to pause, offering moments of meditation within the vastness of space.
Using a predominantly monochromatic palette—ranging from deep blues and dark tones to subtle pinks and greys—I focus on creating atmospheres of calm and depth. The interplay of light and shadow across sea and sky invites a dialogue between the familiar and the abstract, guiding the viewer toward an inner stillness. Through this, I aim to evoke a quiet, contemplative connection with the natural world and the mysteries it holds.
