Claudia Collao

I am a Chilean visual artist based in Santiago, with a degree in Fine Arts and a specialization in Painting from the University of Chile. My work moves between abstraction and fragmented figuration, exploring the intersections of nature, technology and contemporary urban life.

My visual language draws from urban culture, comics, science fiction and industrial imagery, combining organic and mechanical forms through color, gesture and material. I approach painting as a process of discovery, allowing unexpected forms and associations to emerge.

My work has been exhibited in Chile and internationally and is held in private collections in Chile, Spain, France, Portugal and the United States.
