A Unique Collaboration

In the vibrant world of contemporary art, Yvonne Claveloux stands as a dynamic force, crafting works that are as bold and honest as they are visually captivating. Her creations span an impressive range of mediums, from acrylic and graphite to gesso and watercolors, forming a signature style that celebrates movement, color, and emotion. For Claveloux, mixed media is not just a method—it’s an artistic identity."I’ve always been attracted to mixed media becauseI think it provides a level of depth and richness to artwork," she shares. "Each piece has its own unique personality, which really defines the essence of my work.I love experimenting with different materials to create a sense of motion within my paintings. It’s a process that’s both fun and endlessly inspiring."Yvonne’s creative journey began while studying fashion design at Marangoni Instituto in Milan, a city that cemented her love for aesthetics and design. Over the years, her artistic pursuits have taken many forms, including running her own interior design firm and working as the head stylist for AtHome Magazine. It was during this time that she began to develop her unique style, eventually transitioning to painting full-time.Though largely self-taught, Claveloux took classes at the prestigious Silvermine Arts Center in Connecticut to lay the groundwork for her craft. This blend of formal study and self-directed exploration has shaped her uniquely uninhibited approach. "While my education ensures balance in my work, being mostly self-taught has given me the freedom to express myself without boundaries," she reflects. "It’s a liberating process."Raised with Cuban roots and shaped by the kaleidoscopic energy of Miami, Claveloux infuses her work with cultural and environmental vibrancy. "The colorful palette in my paintings reflects my deep connection to my heritage and Miami’s dynamic energy," she explains."From the pops of color in art deco architecture to the bright beachfront hues, those vivid tones find their way into my art, creating a saturated, joyful aesthetic." Her artistry is further enriched by a life of travel, a passion ignited in childhood as her father’s career took the family around the globe. "We lived in places like Switzerland, Italy, and California, which exposed me to a variety of cultures and people," she recalls. "Those experiences shaped who I am as a person and an artist. Each city, each culture—there’s a story there that I carry with me into the studio."Yvonne paints from her home studios in Westport and Miami, two waterfront locations that heavily influence her creative process. "The ocean plays such a big role in my life and art," she says. "Whether it’s a walk on the beach or an afternoon on the boat, those moments fuel my creativity and influence the movement and colors in my work."Her process is one of intuition and discovery. "I usually start with a color palette in mind, but the process evolves as I work," she reveals. "It’s less about predicting the final result and more about embracing the journey. Sometimes, stepping back for a fresh perspective takes a piece in a completely unexpected direction, and I love seeing where it ends up." Described as bright, bold, soulful, and honest, her paintings resonate deeply with her audience."I aim to spark joy through my work," she says. "It’s rewarding when someone connects with the drips, smudges, and colors, and finds happiness through my art in their own space. Authenticity is key—I think it helps create a personal connection."Yvonne’s works are displayed in galleries and interior design stores, a testament to her growing impact. "Seeing my work in those spaces is such a proud moment," she says. "It’s gratifying to connect with collectors and art lovers in such incredible environments."What’s next for this multi-talented artist? "I’m transforming my business into a lifestyle brand,"she reveals. "Clients started requesting my designs on products like water bottles and towels, so I ventured into apparel, fabrics, wallpaper, and stationery. It’s thrilling to see my work take on new life. There’s so much more to come."From her early days in Milan to her dual life in Westport and Miami, Yvonne Claveloux’s creative journey is one of evolution and vibrancy. She continues to push boundaries, infusing her art with the energy, culture, and soul that make her work unmistakably her own. www.yclavelouxart.com | @yclavelouxart
