Claudia Limacher

Claudia Limacher was born in Germany and spent 20 years of her adult life in California. It is here where she earned her MBA and built her own consulting company together with her Swiss husband. Claudia began her full-time painting practice a few years ago, after having discovered her passion for painting by chance when walking into a professional studio in 2013. Since then, painting has become her meditation and passion.

Her wish is that her work touches the viewer in some way, to make the viewer pause, making their feelings or dreams visible. Claudia currently lives in Lucerne, Switzerland, with her family and she is in the studio as often as possible.

Claudia Limacher: “I love to use mixed media; acrylics, oil, spray paint, pigments, and pastels, which allow me to transfer my emotions onto the canvas without boundaries. I rarely have a specific image in mind, rather letting my imagination take over. With nature as my source of inspiration, creating spontaneous scenes that are not a reproduction of a natural scene, I want to project a sphere of the surreal. Where energy is embodied as an abstraction, often having an overlap with nature.

My paintings have tactile qualities with layers of wildly differing viscosities. Resulting in the formation of different structures that may ultimately be landscapes or abstract perceptions, and memories of an emotional and surreal world. Each painting is a unique communication and demands its own life. Wanting to question our perception; the many layers of my work acting as an invitation to look beyond. Having lived most of my life close to nature, I draw inspiration from the woods, lakes, mountains, as well as music, life experiences, and personal reflection. My art may show the realm of life and make the invisible visible for the viewer to get lost in their own perception."

Claudia Limacher's art can be found in many private collections in Europe, the US, and the Middle East.
