Claudia Doring Baez: Paris in My Head draws on three distinct sources — Brassaï's photographs of late 1920s and 30s Parisian life, film stills from Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut, and masterworks referenced within Balzac's La Comédie humaine — to construct paintings that reinterpret art historical fragments through a contemporary expressionistic lens. Spanning centuries of visual reference from Titian and Chardin to Cindy Sherman and Peter Hujar, Doring Baez transforms borrowed imagery into a distinctly personal language where literature, cinema, and painting converge.
