Claudia Luethi, alias Abdelghafar, is a painter and draftsman trained in Zurich and London, working primarily with oil on canvas and velvet. She combines realistic, impressionistic, and expressionist styles, using layered techniques to create a fascinating, almost lifelike 3D effect. She deliberately avoids preliminary drawings to allow her creativity to flow freely. Her works capture the soul of animals with a masterful eye and transport viewers to a positive, colorful world where time and everyday life disappear.
