Marie-Claire is a digital artist from Panama City. Through various 2D and 3D softwares, she creates these infinitely complex, geometric pieces to reflect her vivid imagination and abstract thinking.
In being an artist, Marie-Claire rejects the mainstream idea that neurodivergence should limit someone’s ability to express themselves and achieve their ambitions. In fact, and certainly in the case of Marie-Claire’s art, neurodivergence can serve as something akin to a superpower. “I love to explore the shapes, colors, and textures that emerge from my mind, and express my emotions and experiences through my art,” the artist writes in an interview.
Marie-Claire’s steadfast commitment to making multifaceted digital art is a testament to the power of authenticity and believing in one’s self. In joining the ARTXV community, she wants to use her art “to inspire and empower other neurodivergent people, as well as to challenge the stigma and stereotypes that we face in society.”
