Hi

I’m a Copenhagen based illustrator, visual artist and graphic designer.

I’m working within the field of editorial illustration, book illustration, brand illustration, storytelling, visual identity, artwork, textile and graphic design.

I have a great passion for children’s picture books and comics. And I’m a huge fan of Tal R, Jockum Nordström, Laura Carlin, Beatrice Alemagna and Misaki Kawai. 

I have a master’s degree in visual communication from The Royal Danish Academy of Design. And I have been working as an independent designer and illustrator since 2018.

I’m available for commissions, projects and collaborations.
Don’t hesitate contacting me at mail@claraselinabach.com.

“Bach’s instinct to explore new visual textures and formats is reflected in her eclectic portfolio. Fluid in various media, from acrylics and watorcolor to pencils, ink and digital, she approaches her subjects with intuition and honesty. People in everyday scenarios, in both urban communities and the natural world, are rendered in a playful abstraction and sense of equlibirium.”
