La série Reflets est une vision fragmentée et abstraite du sous-bois, exubérant et humide, où la présence terrestre est aussi importante que la présence lacustre. Ainsi, les reflets sont également liés à la représentation de l'eau, que Ramirez Katz a matérialisée dans d'autres séries, par des aplats de couleurs tantôt calmes, tantôt torrentielles. Les formes se recouvrent les unes les autres, la couleur est maîtrisée, la peinture circule et se déplace. Souvent composée de formats diptyques pour rehausser et étendre les compositions, cette série de peintures est à la fois expansive et plastique, les masses sont gorgées de couleurs. De nature très graphique, cette série démontre le savoir-faire de l'artiste lorsqu'il s'agit de développer sa palette chromatique. La couleur vibre et reconstitue un éclatement de la nature. La palette est arbitraire, mais non fortuite, car comme dans l’ensemble de son travail, elle se plie aux sensations et à l’équilibre que l’artiste cherche entre lumière et volume.

Clara Ramirez Katz was born in Medellin, Colombia. She has moved to Paris since 1979 where she lives and works.
The artist first got started with textile creation at the University of Paris. Higher School of Applied Arts and Crafts (ENSAAMA), then continued his studies in fashion design at the Higher School of Fashion Arts and Techniques (ESMOD). Demonstrating a tropism for the world of art since his adolescence, the artist ultimately decided to free himself from the world of textiles to devote himself entirely to plastic creation.
Clara Ramírez Katz then continued her apprenticeship at the Port Royal Academy then at the Saint Roch Academy under the leadership of the founder Jean Bertholle (1909-1996), painter and engraver representative of the heterogeneous Nouvelle movement. Paris School. Bertholle had a lasting effect on the path that Ramírez Katz would take in his own artistic journey, to explore the essential, contained in color and light.
After exhibiting his works on the walls of the headquarters of the magazine L'Évènement du Jeudi in 1995, Ramirez Katz aroused the enthusiasm of the Le Breton gallery, located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris. For seven years, the Le Breton gallery represented her.
Her passage through the Lavignes Bastille gallery (2005 and 2009) propelled her into the prestigious selection of the Salon de Montrouge with his work Montaña 1 where the artist represents the immense mountains which surround his hometown of Medellín. At the same time, she explores new techniques in painting, which adds texture and depth to her work.
The cross-cultural season of the Year Colombie-France 2017 offered the artist, invited by the French Institute, a new opportunity to exhibit her work and discover new series such as the New Territories, arid and luminous landscapes of the Greece where the linen canvas plays a role as support and value in the painting, as well as bold flat areas of color.
For more than a decade the Couteron gallery, rue Guénégaud , supported the artist. Their latest collaboration took place in 2020, an exhibition called Monde/Miroir aimed at showing a “sample” of different series of works from recent years.
His latest production carried out from the second confinement brings together around fifty portraits of those close to the artist – family and friends, small and medium formats through which Ramirez Katz describes a singular landscape, specific to each portrait.
