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 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.

“There is clearly something extra in Clara Selina Bach’s illustrations. Whether she focuses on the wonders of nature, the twists and turns of the city, the quit strength of animals or the ambivalent human condition, her illustrations are full of movement. This is undoubtedly due to her instinctive style and mixed technique, which involves choosing the right tool at the right time. But above all, it is her own heart that speaks when the brush moves. The Danish artist knows how to make the world around her her own with strong and genuine empathy: Clara Selina Bach depicts every being and every element as if she were so close to it that she could smell it and feel the vibrations. The result is a reshaped vision of our present, sincere and vibrant. Life, in short.”

“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.”
