Born in Mexico City, Claudia Doring Baez is a New York City and Quogue based painter whose works are animated by a reverence for art history and literature, rendered in a contemporary, expressionistic vocabulary. Baez engages in conversations with the work of some of the great artists from the past centuries that she resonates with — she selects, re-creates, and adopts details from images to create her own language. Baez’s work is steeped with references that range from German Expressionism to Marcel Proust, Brassaï, the rich renditions of Titian to abstracted versions of the work of Fra Angelico and Johannes Vermeer along with inspirations from contemporary artists such as Cindy Sherman. Exhibitions include a solo show in NYC, Aqua Art Fair, Miami, the International art fair in Mexico City, Zona Maco, Scope Basel Switzerland, Lehman College, La MaMa Galleria, Ethan Cohen Gallery, and publications such as Art News Magazine.
