Claudia Desgranges

Claudia Desgranges says about her artistic work, which refers to an examination of abstract modernism, minimalism, abstract expressionism and color field painting: "It is my goal to achieve freedom in painting, to go beyond conventions, to initiate new viewing habits ... We are exposed to so many media, everything is going faster and faster, a lot at the same time. I respond to this with the slow medium of painting ... The goal is not to sink into a picture, the eye should wander around."
