"The objects I paint transcend and magnify reality. I use light somewhat in the way Francisco de Zurbarán did. He was one of the few painters that gave true transcendent meanings to objects. This treatment of light makes them appear more as they are. Their essence is greater.” 

-Claudio Bravo

"Gifted with technical virtuosity, Bravo commands
a seemingly effortless sleight-of-hand to enthrall
viewers in unexpected ways. Like a modern-day
alchemist, he manages to transform everyday objects and ordinary subjects into something inimitable,
rarified and extraordinary. Even his most austere and nearly abstract compositions can inspire awe in
their transcendental allure." ​​​​​​​​​​​​
