Your latest series, ‘The Sound of Freedom’ is a set of diptychs showing the dualism between men and women. You mentioned before that your love for black and white is a love for dualism: black and white, light and shadow, life and death, past and future. Furthermore, it symbolizes the eternal dualism of life. Seeing the allure of the past meet the high definition of today, a sort of union between past and future, is what I’m trying to connect in my artwork. I have always been fascinated by monochrome photographs. The using of grey-scale is an inclination rather than a choice. Your black and white work really stands out! Is it an aesthetic choice to work only in black and white? Many painters from the hyperrealism movement work in color. I think it represents my technique it is the work that took me the most time until now. Maybe ‘Paint It Black’ is the work I’d choose till now. Each of them creates the identity of the artist. Choosing a work that can identify you completely is not easy, because the path changes continuously.
Hyper realistic series#
Right now, I’m working on several series about various topics, but ‘Beyond Reality’ was my first series and it has completely absorbed me during the process. If you had to tell somebody about your work and are only allowed to show one piece of art, what would you show and why? Claus was kind enough to talk to us and tell you all about his fascination for the human eye, his techniques and his inspiration. His style has been praised by art-lovers and galleries all over the world, with one of his paintings even being on display in the permanent collection of the MEAM museum in Barcelona, Spain. The fascination grows when it turns out that Claus isn’t a photographer at all, he’s actually a painter! The realism in his oil paintings is stunning, especially when you learn that they are all done in black and white.Ĭlaus is fascinated by the past and has chosen to work in black and white as homage to the decades past. Strong, close-up and detailed: his hyperreal work is quite fascinating. If you come across one of the works of Italian artist Claus Word online, you probably think he’s a skilled photographer.
