In this section, I have gathered words, impressions, and testimonies from those who have seen my work up close.
They are different voices that together tell not only of my artworks but also of the dialogue that arises with those who behold them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI like to imagine positive worlds,\u201d says Claudia Bettega. \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in creating images and in observing those of others.\u201d The young painter, who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and trained in drawing in Madrid, does not follow passing trends; her work unfolds through slow steps and deep reflection. For her, painting is a need, a gift that never runs out. It has an absolute power, expressed through simplicity, allowing her to see even what hides in the shadows.\n\nShe is an attentive observer who questions the past to grasp the trajectories of postmodernity. She does not hold a negative view of the grand stage of contemporary art, yet she does not share the attitude of those unwilling to apply themselves with commitment. The female figure is the protagonist of her painting, and her muse is Kubrick\u2019s Lolita: \u201ca very blonde, beautiful, seductive girl.\u201d\n\nHer images stand out in the foreground against luminous backgrounds, drawn with a firm line and painted in vivid colors. They belong to a playful world that seems to promise escape and pleasure. Her style is eclectic, not hyperrealist. Her subjects are reveries emerging from the everyday experience of life. Matisse, Picasso, Hockney, Haring, Egyptian art, advertising photography, and travel catalogues are explicit references in her way of depicting the human presence.\n\nHer free-form language, devoid of introspective inquiry, allows the different interpretive layers to remain undefined.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Language of Things<\/p>

by prof. Giuliano Menato<\/p>

Claudia Bettega\u2019s works aim to spark a dialogue and forge a relationship. They transform a neutral surface, like canvas, giving it a personality. Claudia works with concepts and ideas, not with archetypes or stereotypes. She focuses on things that belong to shared experience, to common knowledge. Her images do not emerge from the unconscious but from visual information, and they are more instinctive than interior.\n\nBy accepting to depict figures in their banality, she stages subjects that acquire meaning the moment a gaze falls upon them. The viewer of her figures is not a machine, but someone who thinks, desires, delights, grows bored. Claudia embraces an art that intertwines with everyday life and, at the same time, dreams\u2014an art that draws its forms from life and stretches beyond it. She does not seek to convey obscure messages, but simply to capture the viewer\u2019s attention and make them think about what they see.\n\nTo focus her energy on a single message would confine her, so she prefers to venture into the unknown and the fantastical, as shown in those works where figures idealized by the media are replaced with images born of pure imagination. Her primarily formal interest is clear. She is committed to requalifying the vast repertoire of her pictorial representations and elevating them to a level of formal values.\n\nAlthough the use of images drawn from mass media is evident and undeniable, it is not the essential core of her poetics. It is rather one of the implications of a fresh and attentive gaze cast upon the world. Claudia\u2019s encounter with her surroundings, with the reality around her, with models of ordinary experience, and with the projection of artificial images constitutes, on the aesthetic level, a meaningful meeting between the artist and her world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
