Clara Dominique is a French artist born in Normandy. She pursued her artistic education at the School of Fine Arts in Nantes and the Ateliers Terre et Feu in Paris. She obtained a Certificate of Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art.
Influenced by her grandfather, a blind poet, Clara has understood from a young age the privilege of expressing herself through visual arts. Her artistic project invites viewers on a journey toward inner peace. In a world where everything moves too quickly and messages must be conveyed in under a minute, Clara cherishes the concept of taking time.
Through painting and sculpture, Clara portrays individuals seeking mental balance, immersed in fantastical landscapes, to raise awareness about the beauty and fragility of the world. Her work explores themes of nature, meditation, solidarity, and melancholy. In response to the anxiety surrounding environmental fragility, Clara aims to create more optimistic works. Her goal is to engage viewers and present a positive vision for the future. She delves into the complex relationship between humanity and nature—both spectacular and deteriorating—and strives to materialize this dynamic, showcasing the interaction between humans and their environment.
Clara’s artistic vision is influenced by renowned artists such as Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Henri Matisse.
