Claudia Kleiner plays with our perception through her abstract works, creating intricate patterns composed of lines by selectively removing paint. These hidden layers gradually emerge, revealing deep fields of color that suggest a mirage, shaping what we see. Kleiner combines oil and acrylics on canvas, layering contrasting textures and surfaces that interact across divergent planes, creating a playful yet harmonious balance. Far from a hallucination, this experience is an optical illusion crafted with Kleiner's precisely structured, accentuated line work and the seemingly endless repetition of individual strokes.
