Artwork by Claudia Luethi alias Abdelghafar

I am a Swiss artist who has began to create an international art career. I draw and paint in a realistic style but with my own style not hyper-realistic. I try to give the paintings and drawings live and soul, so when you pass for example drawings and paintings of myself with an animal you think “has it moved?”

In the drawing you see I was drawing two horses of a friend of mine who gave me here high professional camera to take pictures from me paintings to be able to make also prints of it.

I was so happy that I wanted to give here something really personal back so I made this drawing of here horses.

She was really happy and she told me that they are really looking just like here two horses.

I was not going to an art school because one of my drawing teachers in the regular school gave me in the reports all the time bad notes. But before he told the other students to look at my drawings which are beautiful.

So I decided not to go to an art school. But I went on drawing and I also began to paint.

In 2004 I had my first exhibition in Switzerland and last year I went to New York for my first exhibition there. Also this year I had an exhibition in New York and one in London.

I always try to increase my skill in drawing and painting. I managed the painting course in the Web Art Academy, which I really appreciate. So I like to do the same in the Drawing Academy.
