For over 15 years, she has produced, directed, filmed, and edited award-winning work for institutions such as SFMOMA, The Oakland Museum of California, KQED/PBS, Al Jazeera, alongside independent documentaries and experimental films.
Raised in Medellín during a period of intense violence, Claudia discovered art as a refuge and a portal into more imaginative worlds.

Her work continues to evolve across mediums, offering intimate, visually rich portraits of people and places shaped by movement and memory.
