Claudia Marx is a Berlin based Artist, born in Berlin. She works in techniques of paper and textile collages. 

Claudia has a degree in Fashion Design and Clothing Technology and worked for many years in the fashion industry. These experiences have taken a high influence on her creative work and also give her a critical point of view on the definition of beauty and what it seems to be. What means „beauty“? 

In her art Claudia is focusing on beauty and its alienation by showing it in fragments that are placed into new contexts. She questions the marketing strategies and advertising campaigns of the fashion and beauty industry. She also criticizes social media like Instagram, where influencers promote the perfect image of women. A woman who is perfect in all aspects of life. The paper and textile collages fragment these visual messages and transform them into new aesthetic perceptions. 

Claudia is finding her perfect material in exclusive beauty and fashion magazines as well in glossy advertising posters of premium cosmetic brands. Her works are colorful collages with perfect cut lines, cut outs are combined with delicate foldings. She also add textiles and drawings by finding new lines in her works. 

Her works have sensual power with a high focus on perfection.
