about

Claudia Almandoz Gerbolini is a Peru-born, Mexico-based visual artist whose work exists at the threshold between photography and painting. Using her own body as both medium and inquiry, she creates self-portraits that are less about identity and more about inner states of being.

​

Through natural light, physical filters, long exposures, and movement, Almandoz transforms the camera into a tool for exploring the unseen. Her images emerge from shadow and ambiguity, touching on themes of faith, despair, alchemy, and the quiet tension between presence and absence.

​

Her practice is rooted in self-exploration rather than representation. Each image functions as a visual meditation—an attempt to give form to what is felt but not easily named.

​

With a background in Art History and Art Therapy, Almandoz’s work reflects a deep sensitivity to space, symbolism, and the emotional weight of light.
