Claudia V. Solórzano is a Los Angeles-based artist working primarily in clay to create sculptural objects that she considers as artifacts. Rooted in memory, place, and material, her practice draws from the architecture of her upbringing, wrought iron gates, window bars, Spanish roof tiles, and other vernacular forms that act as a starting point for world-building.

Solórzano's work has evolved from an interest in preservation to a more intuitive exploration of spirituality and imagined history. She creates portals, relics, and altar-like structures that feel unearthed rather than made, often carrying an aura of mystery and reverence. These forms, ranging from sculptural gates to coil-built vessels, suggest forgotten functions or ceremonial uses.

She holds an MFA from Claremont Graduate University (2020) and a BFA in Ceramics from California State University, Long Beach (2017). Her work has been exhibited across Southern California, including at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, LOYAL Gallery, Galerie Lulla, Craig Krull Gallery, and the American Museum of Ceramic Art.
