About Me
What
moves me to make art is the will to make visible that which underlies all existence.
It is as if I hear a sound that accompanies me day in and day out. A constant, subtle vibration that reminds me of the other planes of reality.
Besides our physical one, they are vast worlds full of meaning and wonder in which I love to move.
Perhaps you would say I am talking about magic, and you are right, because magic is nothing other than experiencing life fully and also working fully within it.
I want to remind you of yourself. It is not by chance that you are reading these words.
Just as the beauty of a sky, a flower, a summer rain or the look in the eyes of a person, connects you, whether you are aware of it or not, directly with the magical world, so do my paintings.
The vibrant colors,
the figures and shapes, have only one goal, to give you and me an image for something that is not to grasp with words.
Sometimes figures visit me in my paintings, sometimes I explore personal themes and sometimes abstract forms reveal themselves to me.
My paintings and I work hand in hand. There are times when I follow them and there is space for me to play.
I usually only have a simple sketch of an idea before I start to put a rough drawing on the canvas with my brush. The painting process resembles a puzzle game in which the aim is to find the right color, intensity and brightness for each place in the painting in order to express the feeling of the message. Until everything has become so interwoven that it seems unchangeable. I want my paintings to penetrate the layers of everyday consciousness in a way that is both haunting and tender. Remember.
Biography
1977 I was born in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), a country that no longer exists. She lives with her family in Dresden, Germany.
After leaving school, she trained as a porcelain painter at the world-famous Meissen porcelain manufactory and then decided to catch up on her A-levels in order to study architecture.
Alongside her studies, she worked on the restoration of historical buildings.
After graduating in 2004, she gave birth to her first child and devoted herself to decorating and refurbishing old furniture. She also developed her own jewelry design.
In 2008, she opened a store for arts and crafts. In 2017 she gave birth to her second child. Since 2020, she has felt a strong inner call to devote herself more resolutely to her fine art.
Claudia Pollack focuses on painting in acrylic, complemented by mostly abstract drawings and mixed media works. Her work is strongly influenced by the knowledge of the magical and everything unifying in this world. Her personal theme, which she is currently exploring in her work, is finding a state of being that corresponds to her sense of femininity in a world that seems to have forgotten what femininity means in depth.
