As a woman, an artist, and a human being
I am searching for ways to cultivate the feminine aspect within myself and in my life.
In my artistic practice, this means that I express myself through images that convey the multifaceted nature of femininity.
For me, the feminine aspect is something that we all—men and women alike—carry within us. And it surrounds us in all living things.
My figures and forms seek to symbolize this. I create a reality for myself in which femininity flourishes with both strength and tenderness. My works reflect my own journey. They reveal my visions, processes, and my path.
Our well-being, especially that of women, is the fertile ground for healthy societies. That is why we begin with ourselves, with a profound and natural acceptance. We fulfill ourselves to the brim. So be it.

In my sketchbooks
I usually capture only rough sketches of ideas, but also abstract drawings that I explore in my mind’s eye and through further sketches. My works then take shape on the canvas very spontaneously and directly, using a brush and acrylic paint.
My most important artistic tool is my intuition. Everything else takes a back seat to it.
During the process, the colored areas quickly shift from figurative forms into a composition of abstract planes in intense colors, which intertwine to such an extent that the whole appears immutable. I, too, only grasp the full symbolism and message of the work once it is finished—or even much later.
Through my artistic work, I do not seek to appeal to the intellect, but rather to speak directly to the emotional core of the viewer. My hope is to provide images—especially for women—that allow them to connect with their femininity without needing words to express it.

Biography
Claudia Pollack was born in 1977 in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), a country that no longer exists. She lives with her family in Dresden, Germany.
After finishing school, she completed an apprenticeship as a porcelain painter at the famous Meissen Porcelain Manufactory and then decided to earn her high school diploma so she could study architecture.
While pursuing her studies, she worked on the restoration of historic buildings.
After graduating in 2004, she gave birth to her first child and devoted herself to decorating and restoring antique furniture. She also developed her own jewelry designs.
In 2008, Claudia Pollack opened a shop for arts and crafts. In 2017, she gave birth to her second child, and after the first few intense years of motherhood, she felt a strong inner calling in 2020 to devote herself more fully to her art.
Claudia Pollack focuses on acrylic painting, complemented by mostly abstract drawings and mixed-media works. Her work is strongly influenced by an awareness of the magical and the unifying forces in this world. The personal theme she is currently exploring in her work is the search for a state of being that corresponds to her sense of femininity, in a world that seems to have forgotten the deeper meaning of femininity.
