Living Through the Arts

Our First Intern: Welcome Claudia!
Yves M. Larocque
GeneralAugust 4, 2010

We are so happy to announce that Claudia Gutierrez accepted to be walkthearts’ apprentice!  She will be helping us in putting our first Alumni show (Australia and Canada only; the USA next year) that will take place in Ottawa in March 2011. She is bright and pays attention to details, on top of being a very talented young painter. Let her introduce herself:

“My name is Claudia Gutierrez and I am a drawer and painter from British Columbia, Canada. I am currently completing my studies at the Ottawa School of Art in hopes of continuing my education in a Masters program. My experience outside of the educational institution consists of mainly curatorial work; I have curated for two commercial galleries in Ottawa and free lanced my services to several other local galleries. My involvement with galleries can be accredited to my interest in creating relationships with artists and supporting the working creative mind. As an artist I have always enjoyed meeting and working with fellow contemporary minds

My work involves themes of inter-connectivity and the materialization of the human form and human emotion. I paint predominantly in abstract and draw with a more representational temperament. I have attached a photo of myself with one of my paintings (Bad Blood, 2009 30×30 acrylic on canvas)  and one of my latest drawings (Undone, 2010 20×24 charcoal and conté on paper).

I was a pupil of Yves Larocque’s last year and really look forward to working with him and everyone involved in this great event!”

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

Feb 16, 2025

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

Oct 14, 2018

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
