Heart Of Dreams

"I was immediately taken by Clara’s story. Once I saw this painting, I knew i must have it. As an artist, Clara trasforms the canvas into her voice, using vivid colors and expressive strokes to speak where words cannot.

"Heart of Dreams" is a deeply moving and evocative piece, embodying the resilience and inner strength of Clara a young stroke survivor living with aphasia. This painting is not just a work of art; it is a testament to the power of the human spirit to transcend adversity and communicate profound emotions without words.

The artist’s use of color and form is both bold and tender. The central motif, a heart, symbolizes the unyielding pulse of life and the hope that persists even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Surrounding the heart are abstract shapes and textures, representing the complex and often fragmented nature of the Clara's experiences.

What is particularly striking about "Heart of Dreams" is the way it conveys a sense of healing and wholeness. Despite the difficulties of living without speech , Clara has found a voice through visual expression that is both powerful and inspiring. Each brushstroke seems to speak of the journey toward recovery, and the courage it takes to rebuild one’s life after a stroke.

This painting is more than just a visual experience; it’s a story of survival, resilience, and the enduring power of dreams. "Heart of Dreams" resonates deeply with anyone who has faced personal challenges and serves as a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always a place for hope and creativity.

It hangs in my home in a place where I see it dally, a constant reminder of Clara and her story.

In "Heart of Dreams," we see not only Clara’s heart, but also the heart of the dreamer within her, a dreamer who refuses to be silenced and continues to share her vision with the world." Thomas Valenti - collector that owns the original "Heart of Dreams"

I’m Clara Woods—an artist, entrepreneur, and game-changer on a mission to inspire. I was born after a stroke in my mom’s womb, which left me unable to speak, read, or write. But that hasn’t stopped me! I understand three languages and found my voice through art. My bold, colorful paintings reflect my resilience, passion, and determination to share my story with the world.

When I was just 12, I held my first exhibition in Florence, Italy. My mom, Betina, believed in my dream, and together we built Clara Woods Collection, turning my passion for art into a thriving business. I became an entrepreneur, showing that creativity and ambition have no limits—no matter your age or abilities. My mom even sold her own successful company to focus on my career, and our bond is at the heart of everything we’ve achieved.

Today, I’ve hosted over 30 exhibitions across three continents, sold more than 800 original artworks, and built an amazing global community of over 1.5 million followers. I was honored to be named an Internet Gamechanger by Forbes and Facebook for the positive impact I’ve made on inclusion and creativity.

Through my work, I lead The Inclusion Matters Movement, advocating for diversity and showing that being different is a superpower. My story is about resilience, love, and dreaming big. Explore my art and see the world through my eyes—you might just feel inspired!
