Hi Guys!
Here are three facts that you need to know about Clara and her art!
1) In the beginning, Clara used to destroy her art. Or she would cover it black, or she would literally destroy it. It took months for her to accept her art and start showing it to us. She started painting with a very nice teacher named Astrid, who was patient and understood Clara in a deep way, which we cannot explain. This is one of the first artworks we have from Clara, and it is hanging in our house because she gave it as a gift for my parents (Clara's grandparents). It is called Rainbow Dool.
2) Clara did more than ten portraits of Frida Kahlo during her artistic life. They are so different from each other. And if you look at Clara's self-portraits, most of them show her wearing Frida Kahlo's eyebrows. I think this is super cool and gave an identity between Clara and Frida, a kind of signature and legacy! You can see in the first picture that Clara is using the famous Frida Kahlo book I gave her, the one that started everything!
3) The first artwork we sold through Instagram had to have an agreement between Clara and Davi. It was 2018, and we were still learning everything about art, and Clara painted in a wood two different artworks, one in each side. Then she gave one of the artworks to Davi.
Someone saw the other artwork and asked to buy it. We were all excited because it was mostly our first sale through social media. Clara was 12. Davi was 6. Clara convinced Davi to give the artwork, and she would give him half the money. He bought a Lego with it.
This artwork is still one of my favorites!
