(born 1981) is a German-Argentinian artist, photo designer, and multichannel artist based in Hamburg. In her work, she creates a modern, urban metropolis mysticism—a fascinating fusion of surreal ethno-painting, expressive street photography, and the energy of the electronic music scene.
Education & Indigenous Roots
Claudia Tejeda studied communication design with a focus on illustration at the renowned Bildkunst Akademie in Hamburg from 2005 to 2008. A key element of her visual language lies in the indigenous roots of her Argentinian father: from early childhood, she engaged intensively with the art and culture of South America, which she reinterprets in a contemporary way in her current work.
Style & Influences: From Street Photography to Club Culture
As a versatile multichannel artist, Tejeda combines different media and worlds into bizarre, surreal Gesamtkunstwerke:
- Surreal Ethno-Fusion: Bizarre figures surrounded by explosive swirls of color and indigenous symbolism.
- Street Photography & Urban Mysticism: Photographic impressions from her travels through global metropolises such as New York, Amsterdam, and Buenos Aires.
- Club Culture & Electronic Music: Aesthetic influences from the electronic music scene and her experiences in Hamburg's nightlife.
International Exhibitions & Curating
Claudia Tejeda has curated many of her own exhibitions. Her work has already been featured in numerous international group and solo exhibitions—including in art metropolises such as Miami, Barcelona, and New York.
