Claudia Aguinaga Gumuzio
Coming from another painting studio, Claudia started at Nahiarte in 2015. Her notable autonomy as an experienced painter allows her to quickly resolve her work using different painting techniques. Her selection of colours is not random, but rather through an express desire prior to starting her work. Claudia develops two creative processes in parallel based on the technique she employs. Her acrylic painting work presents us with work that has a marked geometric style, always using saturated colours where we see a most explosive Aguinaga with brush strokes that seem crafted to the rhythm of joyful music. Yet it also shows us her more intimate side, with her most figurative work using dry techniques and less saturated colours following a more relaxed rhythm.
