Claudia Vieira

Claudia Vieira is a multimedia artist based in New York City, expanding her practice in Miami, FL. Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, she earned a BA in Social Communications before shifting to Fine Arts, obtaining a BFA in Studio Art, a certificate from the New York Studio School, and an MFA in Sculpture and New Forms. For over two decades, Vieira has explored the transformative potential of continuous lines through large-scale drawings, site-specific installations, and live performances. Her work, rooted in the performative act of drawing, meditates on movement, time, and presence. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Queens Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio, the Museum of Modern Art in Brazil, Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, and the Kyoto Arts Center in Japan. A solo exhibition at Praxis, New York, featured her large-scale drawings and immersive live performances. Vieira has been recognized with numerous awards, including the XIV Salão da Bahia from the Museum of Modern Art in Brazil, the Projectiles Contemporary Art Prize from FUNARTE/the Brazilian Ministry of Culture, and the Urban Artists Initiative from NYFA/New York Foundation for the Arts.
