Claudia Calle has been selected to participate in “Motion”, sponsored by The Center for Fine Art Photography
Miami based award winning photographer and mixed media artist Claudia Calle has been selected to participate in Motion, a group exhibition sponsored by The Center for Fine Art Photography in Ft. Hills, Colorado, that will showcase an exquisite international selection of 50 talented photographers. The show will be on display in the Center’s physical and online gallery from March 19 to April 17, 2010.
The participating artists were selected by juror Rich Clarkson named by American Photo Magazine as one of the 50 most influential individuals in American photography. His professional career includes the positions of director of photography and senior assistant editor of The National Geographic Society, contract photographer for Sports Illustrated, NCAA, Time and Life, and an Honorary Master of Science Degree in Professional Photography from the Brooks Institute of Photography.
Claudia Calle is an eclectic artist who designs and photographs by instinct, with a deep passion for traveling and capturing the lifestyle of the places she visits. The artist – who enjoys experimenting with photography, painting and mixing elements over non – conventional materials like wood, metal and leather – had an amazing closing in 2009. Winning two honorific mentions in the International Photography Awards and selling almost her complete solo show during Miami’s Art Basel Season, she has become the new darling for Miami’s collectors.
Claudia is excited about the positive direction her career is taking and is ready to embrace all the opportunities to showcase her art and share her message with a wider public. In her own words, “…art is an indispensable part of my life; it helps me find the answers to my internal questions. Through the creative process something wonderful happens; my mind, eyes, hands and spirit align and without premeditation, in a magical second, I capture the essence of the people and things that are in front of me. My work is the result of the fusion between spontaneity and a conscientious study of the socio – cultural phenomenon that I perceived at my surroundings.”

Claudia Calle is an eclectic artist who designs and photographs by instinct capturing unusual moments and giving us genial pieces of art reflect of her heightened and particular life philosophy. She has a passion for traveling and capturing the lifestyle and culture of the places she visits and her work is the result of the fusion between spontaneity and a conscientious study of the social and cultural phenomenon that she perceives at her surroundings.
In her own words she explains “Through the creative process something wonderful happens. My mind, eyes, hands and spirit aligns and without premeditation, in a magical second, I capture the essence of the people and things that are in front of me. The final result is always perfect because it comes from a spontaneous act. I enjoy experimenting with photography, painting and mixing elements over different and non – conventional materials. In my work I use symbols as part of the human occultism with the purpose of spreading and protecting the truth.”Claudia
