His artworks express a fascination with highly emotional content while retaining childlike playfulness. The fusion of positivity and nostalgia evokes familiarity while placing Claude's original artworks in an innovative realm. The layered and complex paintings, with their simple messages, showcase his unique approach.

Naguy Claude created this one-of-a-kind 21.5-inch high and 21-inch wide artwork with acrylic paint, spray paint, and varnish on canvas. His characters develop their own unique essence with layers of splattered and dripped acrylic and spray paint, rendered with vivid colors. This original artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the front and back and does not require framing. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Coming from a working-class neighborhood in the Parisian suburbs, Claude had the opportunity to experience various cultures and traditions, which gave him a different outlook on the world and ignited his curiosity. During his teenage years, Claude was fascinated with public graffiti art while riding public transportation. He participated in his first exhibition at the age of 16, using the pseudonym Nacks. His artwork reflects the diverse influences he has encountered throughout his life, including his passion for popular culture, street art, and the emotional complexity of childhood.

Cartoon icons such as The Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, Dragon Ball Z, and Pink Panther have made appearances in his works. Some of his paintings include symbols of prosperity and inscriptions like “Love” and “Just Exist” to deliver a positive message. Today his works are exhibited worldwide, including in renowned international galleries such as Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles. Naguy Claude has built a successful art career with a focus on the audience beyond the insular art world and has managed to attract an increasingly impressive global collector base.
