This artworks are a attempted of to do fictitious maps of places still unknown and unnamed, indicated routes that have no latitude, meridian, degree, origin, or destination.
Trying to find a path in this cartography that will take us, freed from nostalgia for a safe haven and the desire for a certain course, is a major task, even more when we don't even know for sure which land we are emigrants from.
Perhaps, the final stop of these oneiric geographies will be some of the "Invisible Cities" from the novel of Italo Calvino.

Claudio Boczon is a painter and photographer born on January 20, 1968 in Curitiba, Paraná, where he lives and works.

Claudio Boczon's work focuses on a game of contrasts and physicality between layering and transparency, seeking to hide and reveal equally. This layering process aims to show the corporeity of the two-dimensional work, highlighting every mistake and every new direction taken, in order to remind us of the painting process.
What drives his research is the curiosity to find the beauty hidden in the everyday, in the supports and the pictorial material, and to bring it to the surface, so that the viewer questions and appreciates aspects to which he would not normally give attention. importance.
His research and production are strongly influenced by Tachisme and Arte Povera, as well as the recycling and reuse of materials, ideas and concepts. Often, by using his own older works, reconstructing them and creating new collages from them, he recycles both the physical element and the concepts underlying those works.
Claudio Boczon has works in institutional and private collections in Brazil and abroad, as well as critical texts published in exhibition catalogs. His work is characterized by great technical mastery and great poetic sensitivity, making him one of the most talented artists of his generation.
