Devaney Claro

I am a Brazilian artist living and working in Munich, Germany as well in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over the years I have been experimenting with several forms of visual expressions, from three-dimensional works to paintings.
My artistic impulse and motivations come from different subjects, such as art itself, philosophy and mythology, poetry, a feeling, a thought, a garden view or even the colors in the sky at the sunset, which I try to interpret trough artworks.
In the last two years I have been working with the visual interpretation of the concept of Panta Rhei ("Everything is flux"), by the ancient philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus interwoven with my art project Lines.

I started my formal education in Drawing and Painting at Liceu de Artes e Ofícios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for two years from 1986. Then I studied Painting at Escola de Belas Artes of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro from 1988 on.
In Munich Germany, where I came to live in 1998, I took formal classes and training with some ceramists, among them, Nanda Eska, a very well known ceramics artist in Germany; at the same time I intensified my artistical abilities and possibilities taking part in several different media of artistical expressions, for example, Photography and Etching, from 2000 on.
Continuing Education in Painting at Escola de Artes Visuais Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro, 2005.
In 2011 I finished my post graduation (MA) in Fine Arts with emphasis on Art Education, History of Art and Classical Archaeology.
In April and May 2015 I took part in an Artist-in-Residency Program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I could intensively develop and deepen my artistic endeavors in a field where colors and thoughts meet and of which results are now showcased here.
