Claudia Meyer was born in Switzerland in 1961 and has lived and worked in Paris and Luzern as an independent artist since 1989.

She trained as a graphic designer at the Hochschule für Gastaltung und Kunst in Luzern from 1977 to 1982. She then spent a year in Stuttgard, Germany where she worked as a graphics artist and made the acquaintance of Anton Stankowski, the grand master of German design, in whose Studio she was able to work. In 1986 she moved to New York and continued her studies at the School of Visual Art of New York. During this time, she focused on the expressive posibilities of fabric design and modern technologies such as the computer.

She received prizes for her work during this period, which explores the border between painting and design. After her return to Europe in 1989 she devoted herself, alongside commissions, to painting and the creation of objets d'art.
Since then her work has regularly been exhibited in galleries both in Europe and the United States.

While metaphysics teaches us to believe in existence and nothingness, Claudia Meyer's art shows us matter and light. The essence of the artist's creations therefore consists of flows and energy. In order to unite the latter, her creative inspiration draws upon all materials, including those produced by nature, especially wood, and those invented by man, such as metal and Perspex. This expresses a great sense of freedom, as the artist's hand fashions cubes, rectangles, walls and installations, which are illuminated by the material and revealed by light.

Claudia Meyer's art depicts the imaginary in the reality of the material, which is magnified by the light and mingles, in turn, with the shadows of its structures, angles and volumes.
The artwork guides and enables us to exist with the artist. The generous strokes and expressive lines show us that the material is full of this luminous and translucent vacuum. Suddenly, we are taken by surprise when something appears. It is the material aspect of the energy flow. Movement emerges from the immobile forms. These spirals, these characters that resemble writing are imperceptible yet powerfully suggestive. They remind us of Japanese haikus or ancient manuscripts.
Immanent and material, Claudia's creations point to the transcendent. This transcendene that is so close to us is one of emotion and sensitivity. But also one of life and being alive today.

At the heart of the temporal, her art confronts us with the universe and puts man back into a living World. It lights up the material as if to say that what is real is our language and that the artist is there to help us to see it. It speaks to us of air, water and fire.

Claudia Meyer reveals a living material to us, in which light and energy open up the horizons of what is perceptible. In this sense, art is an opening, a mirror, or a dialogue, which is accessible for everyone. This art, which uses geometrical forms, goes back to primitive arts via the elementary forms that it reveals to us.
