Venice in Yellow (2009) Painting by Claudia Lorena Mihali

Although I have a Master Degree in Banks and Capital Market, I always wanted to express myself through visual forms. Since little I had great interest in art; during my regular studies, I decided to take art to a new level, to obtain a degree.

I have been painting since I was 14 years old, taking art classes for several years. In 2008, I graduated `Tudor Jarda` Art School in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

My paintings have been shown in several exhibitions in Romania during 2007-2008, in UK in 2014-15 and more recently in New York 2017. Today, I live and work in Cluj and art is still a big part of my life. Nothing I enjoy better than mixing colors for an impressionistic effect.

Since I discovered the art of Claude Monet and William Turner, I founded myself more and more interested in the impressionistic approach of art. I love the movement of life and light and I try to represent it in my paintings.

Some of my paintings represent places I have visited and wanted to take them in my home. Painting them is a simple and beautiful way to catch all the beauty of the moment and put it in our homes.

I have participated in collective exhibitions in London, Cluj and New York in the last couple of years.
