‘Beat Scene’, 2023
Claudine of Claudine Castro Studio
Acrylic on Canvas – 36″ x 36″
‘Beat Scene’ is an image representation of jazz music. It was inspired by my trip to New Orleans’s jazz culture. The image feels as if it’s trying to break free of the lines surrounding it; just as how jazz music seems disjointed, yet there’s an order to it.
Claudine is Filipina American living in Orange County, CA who, for over 27 years, has been creating pieces ranging from live sketches to acrylic paintings on canvas. She always felt compelled to create, from a toddler drawing on walls in her home in Manila, to an adult, painting murals in Costa Rica.
As her work as an artist evolved over the years, Claudine realized that art can come in different forms and is not limited to technical, rigid practices that she learned in formal education. The pressure of creating art in traditional forms slowly dissipated. Claudine found that creating intuitive, minimalistic paintings from nature & passersby is enough to convey joy and gratitude for the simple things!
