Claudia Concha Perea

Claudia Concha is a Los Angeles-based, Colombian Architect and Visual Artist, whose practice includes abstract paintings, drawings, installations and art performances.

Concha’s work delves into the expressive potential of calligraphy within the realm of abstract art, pushing the boundaries of traditional script to create captivating and imaginative visual expressions.

Concha’s unique artistic voice evolved through her practice of automatic painting, allowing her to convey what her body dictates through gestures. She further explored this by employing her non-dominant hand with her eyes closed, allowing spontaneity and intuition to play a significant role in the artistic process.

Through the use of abstract brushwork and spontaneous gestures, Concha’s work vividly showcases the untamed vitality and expressive language inherent in calligraphic abstraction. Her art is a testament to the power of intuition and the freedom of expression, inviting viewers to explore the dynamic interplay between form, movement, and emotion within her creations.

Concha graduated as an architect from the University of Los Andes in Bogota, Colombia (1994), studied Arts and History of Architecture in Florence, Italy (1995), and received her MA in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica (2014). She became a Soul Centered Professional Coach in 2015, where she created and developed ArThrough, a study based on combining the practices of both spiritual psychology and art.
