“My artwork is a reflection, a constant search for self-discovery. A mirror.”

About Claudia Concha

A Colombian-American Architect and artist exploring calligraphy as movement, transforming gesture, space, and emotion into abstract form.

Concha’s work embraces spontaneity and irrationality through the expression of lines, signs and calligraphies, with each mark becoming a gesture, an extension of movement, and a passage into space.

In this context, the line transforms: becoming thinner, thicker, flatter, or more intense, adopting a multitude of qualities that evoke subtlety and intensity. Offering a contemplative journey, these abstract forms aim to capture the dialogue between structure and freedom.

“Everything we do in life is art”

EXPERIENCE

“The gap between what you feel and what you express, that’s where we tend to feel the deepest, that’s where creation starts.”

 

Concha graduated as an Architect from the University of Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia (1994), with a study abroad at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland (1991), and studied Finearts and the history of architecture at the Istituto Lorenzo de Medici in Florence, Italy (1995).

During an eight-year span, she embarked on an introspective journey, painting with the eyes closed and using the non-dominant hand, working exclusively in black and white, through a fellowship with artist Rita Miranda in Colombia (1996–2003). It was during this time that her artistic language emerged.

She founded Claudia Concha – Singular, a furniture design and manufacturing company, in Bogotá, Colombia (2000–2003), received an MA in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, California (2014), published her Book Gestural Art–  and became a Soul-Centered Professional Coach at the same school (2015), where she developed ArThrough, a study based on combining the practices of both Spiritual Psychology and art.
