Without Words (Sin Palabras)
A silent gaze that still speaks volumes. In Without Words (Sin Palabras), Claudia reimagines Charlie Chaplin—the Little Tramp—through bold monochrome brushwork and layered collage. Stripes of fire-red and gold suggest both stage lights and barriers, while fragments of vintage newspapers press through the surface. Among them, Hebrew letters emerge—partially veiled, partially revealed—like an echo of Chaplin’s Jewish roots. Words that cannot be fully read become part of the silence, emphasizing themes of identity hidden, erased, or left unsaid. The composition vibrates between humor and gravity—laughter masking survival, silence amplifying voice.

Artist note
“Chaplin’s art was born of silence yet resounded across the world. Sin Palabras is about that paradox—how comedy can mask pain, how identity can be obscured yet endure. The collaged newspapers—layered with Hebrew letters—stand for memory, language, and roots often torn or concealed. Even unreadable, they carry presence. In this way, Chaplin becomes not just a comedian, but a witness—his silence speaking across time.” — Claudia
