LATIN AMERICAN ART EXHIBITION
When Claudia Janet was a teenager she decided to learn how to paint. She started to play with a canvas and some oils. Since then, she has been experimenting with several materials to create her art, such as oils, acrylics, watercolors, texture, pastels, charcoal pencils, and sometimes recycled materials such as foam, Compact discs, or anything she feels fits the purpose. She is a self-taught person, she likes to have books on hand that she can consult for help, and she looks for tutorials to learn a particular techniques. she is also constantly challenging herself by experimenting with new materials. Her style has been changing regularly, sometimes it’s more gothic and dark using only black, white and grays, or sometimes it can be very cheerful with bright colors and cute characters, it depends on her mood that day. Most of the time she uses art as therapy. Claudia has participated in several exhibitions in Italy, England, Mexico, and Canada as a solo artist and some collectives. "I will always be an artist until the day I die; I feel excited to think about what kind of art I will be creating in the future. I love my art and I hope people who see it will enjoy it as much as I did when I created it." – Claudia Janet

In 2019 we were awarded a grant by the Canada Council for the Arts to join forces with AZMA, a team of digital artists to explore the use of light as an element of design, as well as projection mapping onto sculpture (incipiomodo.com/portfolio/artisticcollaboration). Danira Miralda studied Fashion Technique and Design at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, but moved to Mexico soon after to enter the studio of Sculptor, Enrique Miralda as an apprentice, where she remained for four years.

Edward Beltran studied traditional wax sculpture in the Ex Convento de San Agustin, in Salamanca, Guanajuato. He then moved to Mexico City and was invited into the studio of Sculptor, Javier Marin, in Mexico City, where he completed a two-year residency/ scholarship. Our work can be found in private and public collections in Basel, Calgary, Mexico City, Seattle, Miami, Toronto, Kuala Lumpur, Berlin, and San Francisco.

His work has been exhibited in Mexico City, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Diego in the US, Havana, Santiago in Cuba, Basel in Switzerland, Trento and Milan in Italy and Valencia in Spain. It has also been published in multiple editions of books and magazines specialized in the genre of Fantastic Art, from different countries.
