Clara is primarily a sculptor who also uses the medium of film, drawing and photography.
Her main theme can be described as visceral, expressing raw emotional states and bodily conditions. She draws from the figure, internal forms and psychological landscapes. She takes influence from the Baroque period and incorporates its excessive use of detail, exaggerated drama and exuberance.
