Claudia Valsells Spain, 1969
“Painting is my job and colour my ally. My creations claim beauty as a visual
experience. I believe when we experience beauty there is relief.”
Claudia Valsells
Clàudia is an artist who specializes in colour.
A multidisciplinary creator, she discovered painting through mural painting. Based on
her reflections as an artist and her experience in trend prediction and mural painting in
interior design and architecture, she brings to all her work a distinctive, harmonious,
rhythmic and sensitive approach, with colour as a primary tool.
Aware of the emotional impact of colour and its infinite wealth of nuances, she
develops and defines colour ranges and colour harmonies, abstracting colour from
matter and any other artifice and seeking in the white of the canvas her only ally. A selftaught
painter, in 1992 she went to study mural painting at the Institut Supérieur de
Peinture Van Der Kelen et Logelain in Brussels, Belgium. On her return from Brussels,
she worked on commissions and for architects, on projects of diVerent scales.
Soon she founded her own company, under the name of ‘arts&claus’, specializing in
painting and colour applied to architecture and interior design. For 20 years she worked
on projects in Spain and abroad. Her role was to convey the value of colour and its
texture in the decoration of interior spaces working closely with professionals in the
fields of art, design, and architecture.
She also produced and edited two colour cards of her own, with more than 200
references, which have been used as colour communication tools by Spain’s best
architects. Currently she combines her activity as an artist with colour consulting and
colour prescription in the areas of interior design and architecture.
