In 1970, he made his first show at an art gallery in New York, obtaining extremely positive reviews. He was born in 1936 in the city of Valparaíso (Chile), growing up on the family farm, where his father is a breeder. Claudio Bravo https://www.claudiobravo.com/ attended the Jesuit school in Valparaiso, taking lessons with an academic artist. When he was 17, his first show was in 1954, in Santiago. In 1960, he moved to Spain, where he worked as a portraitist.
Although he called himself super-realist, he did not use photography as a model. His ability to represent objects and forms, recalls that of Velázquez. His paintings, based on the works of Spanish artists of the 17th century, represent a technical virtuosity at the service of the imagination. Unlike the works of the realists who paint the world as they see it, Claudio Bravo loved to represent common objects, but always set in rich historical and environmental contexts. He died within a day of June 2011, in Morocco. As for the fate of his artistic legacy, a museum in Chile (with his private collection and personal objects) keeps his memory alive.
