Claudio Bravo the Chilean hyperrealist painter passed away at the age of 74 years at his home in Taroudant, Morocco due to heart and epilepsy attacks. Bravo is considered one of the most prestigious Chilean painters renowned for his mastership of light, constantly seeking the best lighting locations for his paintings, with a work ethic to match his skill for hyperrealist creations. Bravo represented Chile in the 2007 Venice Biennale with his work exhibited at the Museo Diocesano. At the age of 19 he danced professionally with the Compañía de Ballet de Chile, and by his early 20’s had established himself as a society portraitist, painting many prominent political and social figures. However he earned his name as ‘the master of light’ primarily for his depiction of objects and shapes.
