Claudia Barreira is an awarded ceramic artist whose practice celebrates the intrinsic traits of clay and the natural elements that surround us.
Geological formations, landscapes and the silent patterns found in the natural world are a persistent influence in her pieces.
Her sculptural works present the beauty of unglazed ceramics highlighted by rocks, soils and minerals collected by the artist in many areas of the world.
Born in 1970 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she worked as a pastry chef before moving to Canada in 2012 where she started art school and graduated in fine arts and art history.
In 2022 she moved to London and a year later she gained a first class BA (Hons) in contemporary design ceramics at the University of Hertfordshire.
She is currently attending an MA at the Royal College of Art and continue her explorations with clay and more recently glass.
Claudia has exhibited in Vancouver and London and her work can be found in private collections in Canada, UK and Brazil.
