Born in 1987 in Heppenheim, Germany, where she lives and works, Claudia Kaak is a self-taught artist whose main subject is the human figure. Her oil paintings are based on photographs and movie stills. Every work has an autobiographical and social narrative which focuses on her childhood experiences and mental illness. Her artwork deals with existential feelings, the inner strife of human beings and the extreme, unlimited emotional and physical experience of pain. Her work evokes strong emotions and confronts observers with the dark sides of human beings but also the complete opposite. Her intention is to break taboos and allow emotional disorder to seep through the artwork.
