Biography and education
Claudia Anselmi was born on 29 September 1958 in Montevideo, Uruguay.[3]
She studied visual arts at the Centro de Expresión Artística (CEA) under Nelson Ramos, and later specialized in engraving at the Club de Grabado de Montevideo with Héctor Contte. In 1986, she completed postgraduate training in engraving with David Finkbeiner.[1][2]
Career
Anselmi has been active as an artist since the early 1970s and has participated in numerous solo and collective exhibitions in Uruguay and abroad. Her work frequently explores organic forms, cycles, and processes of transformation, often through serial production and material experimentation.[1]
In 1992, she co-founded Taller Cebollatí together with Teresa Gilly, establishing a workshop dedicated to teaching and artistic production in graphic arts. In 2007, Taller Cebollatí received Second Prize for Best Artistic Teaching Institution from Fundación Itaú.[2]

In 2022, the Museo Juan Manuel Blanes hosted Uróboros, an exhibition that offered a retrospective reading of her work and emphasized continuity, recurrence, and transformation as central themes in her artistic practice.[5]

Alongside her artistic production, Anselmi has been active as an educator and cultural promoter. She has taught engraving and visual arts through Taller Cebollatí and has participated in international artistic and teaching exchange programs, including activities in the United States.
