La Bella Vita, original
16x12" (40x30cm) - La Bella Vita means "the beautiful life" in Italian. Clara is living proof that you can choose it even when things are hard. Despite her difficulties, her limitations, all the stuff she has to push through every single day, she keeps trying. She doesn't give up. Last week in the studio, Clara came in super happy, singing and jumping around, then she tripped on the carpet and fell hard. Instead of getting up right away, she just lay there on the floor and cried. She told me, "Sometimes I'm just tired of fighting all the things I need to fight every day." Then she started laughing, got herself up, and kept going. That's La Bella Vita right there. It is about choosing joy even when you're exhausted. It's falling down and crying and then laughing at yourself and getting back up anyway. It's deciding that life is beautiful even when it's really, really hard. Let this piece remind you that you can do that too. That choosing beauty doesn't mean pretending struggle doesn't exist. It means living fully anyway.
Postcards from Italy: Clara created this little original collection before packing our bags to Italy. You know that feeling when you're about to go back home? Something starts moving inside you before you even leave. Old memories. Stories your nonno used to tell get louder in your head. You remember smells, voices, the way light looked.
Being far from your roots is not easy. You grow, you build, you create somewhere else, but there is always a string pulling you back.
Watching Clara counting the days to this trip… her happiness is overwhleming, in the best way. Her heart is so pure! It’s so nice to see, and I’m learning so much from her. And this collection is about this feeling. About being happy, thankful, and noticing the beauty that is all around. Life is full of it. We just need to see.

"I picked up one of Clara’s original pieces a few months back, and it’s now proudly hanging in my bedroom. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up, and it instantly makes me feel loved and that I am enough. I know the saying is ‘money can’t buy happiness’, but in this case, it did, and that’s why I see Clara’s prices as a bargain, so much so that I’ve just bought two prints of her stunning flowers!"

Wonderful Work! Wonderful Artist! I recently bought a work from Clara, I was so overwhelmed when I received it. Now I look at it several times a da,y and it always makes me smile, a warm feeling of happiness inside. Thank you, Clara. You are a very talented artist and a warm and wonderful person.

"Love my painting, love Clara and her family! I have loved the process of purchasing a painting from Clara. I was able to see the paintings I was interested in via FaceTime, get to talk to Clara, and learn some of the meanings behind her work. I feel like I’ve made dear friends in the process, but I absolutely love my painting! And look forward to adding to my collection. Shipping was done right, too, no issues at all!"
SPOTTED IN
Hi, I’m Clara.
Sometimes people tell me I shouldn’t dream so big. That because I can’t speak, read, or write, I should “stay quiet.” But I don’t want to stay quiet. I want to paint louder.
I had a stroke while I was still in my mom’s womb. The doctors told her my life would be a nightmare. But here I am — building my future.
Even though I can’t speak, read, or write, I understand three languages — English, Portuguese, and Italian. I guess my brain found its own way to communicate, just not the one doctors expected.
I’m writing this with the help of my mom (my business partner, my best friend, and my biggest cheerleader) and ChatGPT — and reading it with my text-to-speech app.
Painting became my language. It’s how I share everything I can’t say with words — my love, my anger, my hope, and my joy. Because even if my voice sounds different, I want you to hear me.
