Biography

Jacqueline Claudet-Mitterer (b. 1971 Lima-Peru) earned a BBA from the University of Lima and an MBA dual degree from PUC-Chile and UCLA. She immigrated to the United States in 2000, married and started a family. Jacqueline's distinctive approach to mosaic art infuses traditional techniques with a painter's sense of perspective, creating three-dimensional works that captivate viewers. Mitterer's mosaics are intuitively crafted, combining a variety of materials-sea glass, cut glass, ceramic tiles, natural stone and found objects-to construct layers of texture, depth and meaning. Her works transcend the flat, static composition most often associated with mosaic art, inviting a more interactive form of engagement with the viewer. This innovative approach not only redefines the boundaries of mosaic art but also establishes Mitterer as a pioneer in the medium.
