"I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child."
Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean Michel Basquiat has a long story in Clara's family. When Betina (Clara's mom) was around 11-12, she watched Basquiat's movie on Brazilian television twice a year. Betina was crazy about him and his art.

When Clara started painting, Betina began to share about some artists she loved: Basquiat.

Clara grows up on her artistic path following Basquiat and his art. She is creating a collection, "Artists of my heart," and Basquiat is the first one she portrays.

In 2020 Clara made a self-portrait inspired by Basquiat's art named S.A.M.O.
The other day we went to Barnes and Nobles, and Clara saw a book by Basquiat. She immediately wanted to buy, with her money, a gift for herself.

She started looking at the pictures, and Dad read her the story, and suddenly, she created Basquiat's portrait.

What are suitable places in my house to place the art piece?
It is a very personal decision, and it depends on your taste. But we advise you to hang it in a place where you can see and live it daily. Clara's paintings bring joy to your life and can flourish emotions you never imagined.

How to install the artwork on the wall when it arrives?
In most cases, when Clara paints on canvas, she paints the borders, so it is unnecessary to frame the painting. The boards are part of the artwork. To hang it on the wall, you can easily follow a youtube tutorial that teaches how to do it in short steps.

Clara Woods's brief history
What an inspiration Clara is! Despite doctors' prognoses, she defied the odds and accomplished much. She can't speak, write or read but understands Portuguese, English, and Italian. Clara has found a way to express herself and connect with the world through art. It is so lovely that her story touched so many people!

In 2018, with the support of her family, Clara was inspired by Frida Kahlo, her muse, to make her first exhibition. This exhibition took place in Florence, Italy, where Clara was born. Since then, Clara has made around 30 exhibitions on three continents, and in 2021, Louis Vuitton hosted Clara's art show at Art Basel, Miami. She sold over 700 paintings internationally and moved to California after receiving her American Visa as an extraordinary talent.

In Clara's world, everyone is invited to celebrate inclusion and diversity. Through her art and social media channels, Clara spreads the message that each one of us has unique gifts and talents to share. By sharing her own story, she inspires others to rise and shine.

Clara has been featured in Forbes, Grazia, ArtsLife, and other major publications. She is also the subject of two documentaries and two children's books.

Clara lives, studies and creates her art in Huntington Beach, California, since Christmas 2020.
