Claudia Haase Contemporary Artist

About the Artist

Claudia Haase (aka Korpanoff) is a Toronto based multi disciplined visual artist. Over the past 20 years, Haase has explored her abilities in her field and pushed the boundaries of her chosen mediums being painting, music, sculptural painting and video art. Painting being the main vehicle of creation, Haase incorporates many different mediums. Some examples are earth, hair, found objects, plaster body casting and photography. Over the course of her career her subject matter has been a personal reflection of her life experience. Some issues addressed have been death, love, sexuality, abuse, gender and social issues. Haase has created such a vast palette in her abilities as an artist that she can pull from various mediums to execute her visions to whichever medium suits it best. Currently Haase is working on a new body of work that is dealing with Impressionism through use of color and pushing the boundaries of digital painting.
