THE COLOUR CHAPTERS
Original artworks.
Delivered to you monthly.
Collect them one Chapter at a time.
“So many beautiful colours and textures never make it out of the studio. The Colour Chapters is my way of bringing this private & experimental part of my broader practice to collectors.”
Founding Collectors
The first 33 collectors will become the Founding Collectors of The Colour Chapters.
Becoming a collector begins at €33 per month, including free worldwide shipping.
This Founding Collector rate is reserved for the first 33 collectors.
Once the first 33 places have been filled, new memberships will open selectively out of respect for the remainder of Claudia’s practice.
Over the years, many people have asked for a way to collect Claudia’s work in a way that was more attainable than a large painting.
Rather than creating prints, Claudia prefers to open up a part of her practice that has previously remained in the studio.
Every Chapter is a collection of small, hand-painted, original colour studies, made on thick, gallery-quality paper.
The pieces will be collectable, available on a monthly subscription basis,
The Colour Chapters is a way of sharing the joy of painting itself, while allowing collectors to build a growing collection of original artworks over time.
They are intended to be not only enjoyed, but shared: In addition to the main piece, a second, smaller original colour study is included.
Some collectors may choose to keep the pair together. Others may choose to pass it on to someone, introducing another person to the experience of owning an unique artwork.
“Each Chapter consists entirely of hand-painted studies on paper, allowing collectors to invest in a collection of original artworks over time.”
Everything begins with a feeling and a colour.
Before there is a painting, there is something less defined.
A place, a memory or idea, a landscape or movement. A feeling that keeps returning. This is where Claudia’s paintings begin.
Colour studies have always been part of her practice. Until now, they have remained in the studio.
Works that have always played an important role in the development of her paintings are now being released to collectors for the first time.
