Claudiu has participated in several exhibitions within various art institutions or in a gallery based environment, both in Romania and London. His paintings and limited edition prints feature in private art collections, among works by Bridget Riley, Terry Frost RA, John Titchell RA, Michael Craig-Martin and Sadra Blow.
Some of his latest group shows are: the launch of Switch Art at Dray Walk Gallery, September 2005, The Black Lounge, Old Truman Brewery, September 2005, Fine Art - Curzon Soho, West End, London June 2005, Manifest, Triangle Gallery, Millbank, February 2005, Living London Exhibition, Fine Art Group Show, LCF, John Princes Street, London, organised by the International Society, London Institute, May 2004.
Claudiu’s conceptual framework is focused around the notion of luminosity, as summarised in his statement:
"A deep fascination with light has been a distinct drive throughout my practice, always seeking to articulate an internal sense of both lightness and power, through painting. I have carried a visual structure inwards, on a route of reconstituting memories or emotions, towards a perceptual experience of luminosity.
My work currently reflects a sensation of light, how light ‘feels’ rather than how it looks and my ambition is to mirror the notion of ‘Qualia’(a newly emerging neurobiological term), trying to reach, beyond figuration, a sort of essence of ‘sensing’ .
The immediacy of colours plays a central role.
Ultimately, I seek to deploy a harmonious, almost synaesthetic system ("visual - sound").
The resonance of something internal is essential in my work, and not some optical trick. The immediacy of colours, the swift aspect of perception…"

Claudiu Ramba is an emerging practising artist, BA (Hons) Fine Art graduate of Chelsea College of Art and Design. Having been offered a place on the Masters course within the same institution, starting January 2006, Claudiu is directing his inquisitive efforts towards perfecting his technique and exploring notions of perception and heightened chromatic arrangements that outline a continuous search for brilliance and luminosity.
He was born in Romania and initially studied at "G.Enescu" University of Arts, Iasi, Romania.
Currently involved in various art projects based in London in collaboration with Switch Art Library, The Chimera Collective and The Untitled Gallery, he is also an active member of FPS ("Free painters and Sculptors Associations" – an avant-garde art group founded by members of The Institute of Contemporary Arts).
