Description from the seller
This work is a captivating composition of diverse elements: it flows together into one expressive whole. The artist behind this colorful piece is the Brazilian Claudimar José da Costa, better known by his signature Claus Costa. This self-taught artist lives and works in Rio de Janeiro and has been active as a painter of modern art since 1992.
From a young age, Claus Costa was inspired by his aunt, who was herself an artist. His admiration for masters such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci led him to work at a drawing studio after his military service. There he deepened his understanding of anatomy, proportions and various drawing and painting techniques—a solid foundation on which he developed his own style further.
After a period of artistic exploration, during which he combined figurative forms with painterly experiments, Claus Costa found his true expression in mixed media. In his current work he brings classical icons back to life, surrounded by an explosion of color and texture. He processes a wide range of materials—from newspaper and cardboard to cement and paint—into one layered whole.
The result is an intriguing fusion of old and new, tradition and innovation. His iconic figures acquire a modern, almost urban, look, where the rawness of the street meets the depth of art history.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also use restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to take advantage of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
Shipping is possible; we will calculate the shipping costs after your purchase based on your place of residence.
