Claudio Miklos
NAME: Claudio Miklos
THE ARTIST: Born on June 26, 1962, at the age of
thirteen his passion for painting comes to light. But his work doesn't
become solid 'till his late twenties.His spiritual practice, the
Zen-Buddhism, gives him some kind of inward perspective, which leads his
paintings to a deep and vivid touch of subtlety and ulterior
significance.
HOME TOWN: Miklos has born in Niterói, a town near Rio de Janeiro,
BRASIL (Brazil). He´s now (2002) living in Rio with his wife and little
daugther.
ARTISTIC BACKGROUND: Self-Taught. No academic experiences. Following his
own nature, Miklos' art is developed through his strong independent
tendencies. But he doesn't deny some influences, such as: Da Vinci,
Caravaggio, Velazques, René Magritte, Ivan Freitas, Dalí, Oriental
Art.
HIS WORK: Oil paintings of a metaphysical nature, emphasizing the
enormous human universe of religious and spiritual symbolisms, as well
as sensual and emotional experiences in the perceptive world of the
individual being.The most basic tenet of his art is "to break down
the rigid distinction and opposition between human rationality and its
wonderful metaphysical potential from a visual point-of-view, often
neglected, even slighted." |
