The Grand Opening of Clara Berta Art Studio

Downtown Laguna Beach

Step inside the studio where it all begins.
On Wednesday, May 20th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Clara Berta opens the doors of her new sanctuary at 332 Forest Avenue, Suite #16, Laguna Beach, CA.

This is more than an art show. It is an invitation to experience the layers, the pours, and the energy that define Clara’s large-scale paintings. Come meet the artist, discover new works, and let the art speak directly to you.

The Healing Power of Modern Abstract Art

Living in Laguna Beach for the past two years has brought a transformative energy to my canvas. The rhythm of the Pacific is a living dialogue that inspires my work. Blue has always been my anchor. To me, it represents a frequency of peace and a tool for healing. It is a way to find light even in the moments where we feel most isolated.

The Art of the Tactile

Years ago, I was nicknamed the “Queen of Texture.” That remains the heartbeat of my work today.

I don’t just apply color. I build layers. My work creates a topography of paint that invites you to do the unthinkable: touch the art. I believe that feeling the ridges of pigment connects you to the artist’s energy. It is a tactile prayer and a dance between control and surrender. Step into the studio and feel the surface of the story.

A Sanctuary for the Soul

This downtown sanctuary, provided by my friend Jeff at J.W. Consultants, is where the magic happens. With soaring ceilings and natural skylights, the room breathes along with the paintings.

To make our opening even more magical, my friend Anya will feature her Amuvida organic wax candles. Their intentional glow complements the fluid energy of the canvases, turning the space into a true sanctuary.
