from teen, I always liked to draw and paint. Of course, they were attempts to give vent to the sensitivity that surfaced for the Arts. But I only dedicated myself to this creative process from 2003 when I started attending a studio here in São Carlos/SP, city where i live since 1980. It was time to study, get in touch with techniques, hitherto unknown to me.

I believe this gift has always been with me. was half asleep. I realized that when I came across images that seduced me, painted them mentally.

I like oil on canvas, of the watercolor, color pencil, pastry, ink on paper.

I don't have a specific form. When something touches me and I choose to turn it into work, I do it without haste, tasting every detail. nature inspires me, the flowers, the birds, the butterflies, the trees, life in motion.
7- When you started effectively to produce or create your works?
Was in 2003, as I said above. It was with teachers teaching me techniques. At that moment I was able to give vent to my creative process and, and, seek an artistic identity.

Always, in the context of creation, we are a little bit of each other. I try to be myself in the art of creating. However, I can't help but say that my artists favorites are Cézanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro, Gauguin.

There are many high profile artists hidden away. It's not easy to enter the art world (galleries, exhibitions), to be recognized. It has always been and continues to be for few. However, I believe in national art. It's up to us artists to fight for spaces.
As for exhibiting abroad, it is an individual option. If the artist has the opportunity and possibility to do so, must go ahead.

Memories of impressions in the paintings of Cleri Biotto by Ana Mondini
birds, flowers, butterflies, fruits and landscapes make up the paintings of artist Cleri Biotto. Be it through oil paint, be the watercolor, highlights the nostalgic atmosphere arising from the shades.
alright whitish, which in some cases is a fog, leads the viewer to glimpse scenes as if they belong to a sweet past or to a tranquil and delicate dream.
In these nuances between dream and reality, Cleri Biotto's paintings show moments that contemplate the ephemeral scintillating of life totally linked to its nature, revealing a very beautiful aspect of the art, namely, the construction of the memory of our impressions.
