Collection: CARRETTA Claude

Claude Carretta explores watercolor with a unique freedom and sensitivity, where water and pigments become instruments of light and controlled chance. His work emphasizes mood and nuance, creating vibrant atmospheres that captivate the eye and awaken emotion.

A figurative painter, he moves with imagination through a variety of themes, always letting light guide composition and expression. Contrasts, transparencies, and material effects intertwine to produce works where color unfolds with intensity and subtlety. His encounter with Roland Palmaerts was decisive in deepening his practice, allowing him to develop a vigorous, creative, and unique watercolor style, while asserting his artistic signature. Claude Carretta considers painting as a dialogue between material, light, and the viewer, inviting the latter to feel the atmosphere and immerse themselves in the moment captured on the canvas.

A recognized master of his art, he now passes on his knowledge to generations of watercolorists, while continuing his own exploration of color and light. Each work thus becomes a sensory journey, where the precision of the gesture and the spontaneity of water meet to create a poetic, intense, and luminous world.
