From Scars to Stars
Acrylic on MDF, 2023
Size: 24x48" (≈ 61 x 122 cm)
Serial Number: CW1052

This artwork stayed in our studio for a very long time. Clara had painted it on an MDF board she found around the house. We thought the piece was “too raw,” too unfinished to be shown. 

Then one afternoon I walked into our home and Carlo had built a frame for it. And when I saw it framed like that, it felt like the piece had finally found its place. Carlo looked at it and said, “You know what this is called? From Scars to Stars.” I loved it!

Because that is our life. That is Clara's story.

There is one scar in particular that I will never forget. Clara was around nine years old, sitting in her classroom — a space that should have been safe, supportive, gentle. But instead, her teacher, looked at her and said she was “a weight to the class,” and that she “should be in an institute.” Imagine being a child, already trying so hard to understand a world that moves too fast and speaks too loud, and hearing that you don’t belong.

Little Clara didn’t cry. She didn’t break down.
She stood up from her chair. She walked to the board. She flipped off the teacher — the only way she knew to say, “You’re wrong about me.”

But she didn’t tell me. She kept it inside, the way she always did with the big, painful things. Then a mom from the class called me. She had heard what happened and felt I needed to know. The school never bothered to tell me.

When I asked Clara about it, she finally broke. And the way she cried… I had never seen her like this before. That wound stayed with us — one of those deep scars life leaves behind.

From Scars to Stars is exactly what it says: a journey from hurt into strength, from breaking into becoming, from being underestimated into being unmissable.

This piece is a reminder that scars don’t mean the story is over. Sometimes they’re the beginning of the brightest part.

And if you bring it into your home, that reminder will be there every day. In the good moments, in the hard ones, and in the ones where you need to remember that even the most painful chapters can turn into something powerful.

Just like Clara did.

Dream Big

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.

The Sparkle Collection

It started on a rainy afternoon here in Southern California.
We were all a bit tired. Everything was messy.
I had fallen down the stairs, I was hurt, everything stopped… and when you run a small business, that shock hits hard.
The holiday can be overwhelming.
Too much work, too many memories, missing people who aren’t here anymore.
So we took a pause and a deep breath, and said,
“Let’s go inside and see what we can do.”
Then a sparkle of hope showed up.
My body started healing faster than anyone expected.
A sparkle of support arrived as well; with Najat and Clara stepping in, taking photos, organizing the studio, and getting everything ready so that we could get back on track again.
Inside the studio, we found artworks that were just sitting there, waiting — almost asking to shine again.
Different styles, different colors, different sizes, different techniques.
raw… and with Clara’s unforgettable flair.
That was our sparkle.
And that’s why this collection exists.
We’ve see how Clara’s art can brighten a room, lift a heart, and urge you to keep going.
Maybe this collection brings that sparkle to you too.
